Verity Lodge

Verity Lodge has an important place in the rich history of the city of Middletown, Ohio. The building—its framework and exterior made of Armco steel—was built in the early 1940s for exclusive use as a women’s club for Armco Steel’s female employees. At that time, the land now occupied by Miami University Middletown was Armco Park, which boasted a children’s amusement park complete with a ferris wheel and train ride.
