The Elks Building in Stockton, California is a 5-story U-shaped Chicago style/Commercial Style building built during 1906–08. Located at the corner of Sutter and Weber Streets, it has a copper cornice over those two streets.

It is unusual, structurally, due to reports from the 1906 San Francisco earthquake about which types of buildings survived earthquake and fire. Ergo it is built from steel and concrete on the first two floors, although from there up has timber framing with two-foot thick brick masonry exterior walls. A March 1906 newspaper report had stated the building was expected to be built from brick masonry; a May 1906 newspaper report said its construction would change.{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=80004606}}|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: |publisher=National Park Service |author=Pamela McGuire |date=October 30, 1979 |accessdate=October 12, 2016 }} with {{NRHP url|id=80004606|photos=y|title=seven from 1979 and two historic photos}}
