Carmen Odd Fellows Home For Children

The Carmen Home (IOOF Home for Children) was empty for 10 to 12 years when it became the private residence of Jim and Naomi Davis from 1940 to late 1940s.

After that the Pentacostal Holiness Church purchased it around 1944 and made it into the Carmen Home for Elderly in 1954.

Oklahoma Odd Fellow's Home, Carmen, Oklahoma.

A NW Oklahoman, Vince Pettit, was raised there when it was an Home for Children.

This is a picture of the Carmen Home today that is used as the Carmen Nursing Home starting in 1954 and still in use as of 2000. It is located 1/2 north of the town of Carmen, Oklahoma, Alfalfa County, in northwest Oklahoma.
