This is a two-story brick building at 125-127 W. Main Street. The Masonic emblem of square and compass is engraved on a stone on the second level, beneath a projected pediment which gives the illusion of a castle.
The building has two storefronts, each modernized with an aluminum and glass entrance door and full height display windows. The storefronts are covered by a shingled canopy. The occupancy on the lower level is Ricky's Contract Sales, a wholesale buildings materials company. The upper floor is occupied by J. Marie's Bed & Breakfast.
The second floor has two bays. The left bay, flanked by brick pilasters has a tall single hung window with a circular glass window above. The arch is formed by bricks with a keystone. Above this, amid corbelling is the Masonic emblem. Two brick columns rise above the roof line and are capped with stone.
The larger right bay has three tall single hung windows with rectangular fixed panes above and stone headers. All windows have stone sills. Rows of corbelled and dentilated bricks embellish the upper wall.
The current Masonic lodge is located at 900 N. Canadian Avenue in Purcell.
