Additional Comments
2025; This two-story Beaux-Arts/Neoclassical-styled Masonic Lodge was constructed in 1915 per the datestone within the pedimented entry of the front façade. The rectilinear form of the Masonic Lodge rests on a parged foundation with brown brick cladding and a front-gabled roof. The cornice hosts a line of brick corbeling. Masonry belt coursing is between floors. The entryway’s projecting gable-front is centralized on the façade and is supported by integrated brick columns, a corbeled entablature, and a pedimented roof. Above is a stone plaque that reads “MASONIC-TEMPLE.” The windows are predominately replacement glass block with some infill. The windows are accentuated with lintels of tripartite keystones, squared corner stones, and overhanging stone sills supported by a pair of squared stone brackets.
