Looking for Floor Plans of Historic Odd Fellows' Home

Does anyone have access to floor plans of this building?



I hear the current owners plan to demo this wonderful historic structure and construct a nursing home. I would like to evaluate the feasibility of redeveloping this building as an assisted living facility.

Thank you
