Ann Arbor's Elks Pratt Lodge is part of the national Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, a fraternal organization founded in 1899 by black men denied entry into existing fraternal groups. The Ann Arbor lodge has been located on Sunset Road, overlooking North Main Street and the Argo Dam, for over half a century.

In 2006, the Elks partnered with developers to ensure their future - a plan was brought to develop part of the site with a 37-unit residential condominium project, with proceeds from the development used to pay off the Elks' debts and finance construction of a new lodge on the site. The condos would range from 1,800 to 2,800 square feet in size, and sell for $450,000-$700,000. After winning Planning Commission approval on December 18, 2007, the project - "Avery House" - came under fire from neighbors, concerned that the project was out of scale for the area. The Ann Arbor City Council voted the project down unanimously on June 19, 2007.
