Sapulpa Masonic Lodge No. 170 was chartered on August 14, 1901. In 1925, this building was constructed to house the lodge. In the early 1940s, the building was purchased by a local glass manufacturing company and was renamed The Collins Building. Then, in the early 1990s, Creek County purchased the building for office space, and beautifully restored the building.
This is a three-story blonde brick building in the Classical Revival style of architecture. Its south-facing entrance has a full-height entry porch with large stone Doric columns extending to a peaked pediment. A large ballroom is located on the third floor.
At the northeast corner of the building, a large two-sided stone cornerstone reads "Sapulpa Lodge / 170 A.F. & A.M. / Laid by / G.B. Bristow / Grand Master / April 20, 1925 / A.L. 5925" The other side of the stone shows the Masonic emblem - the square and compass.
The Masons are still operating in the Sapulpa area out of a lodge located at 21 N. Elm Street. They meet on the first and third Mondays at 6:30PM.
