This historic building was completed in 1883 and used as the Cameron County Courthouse until 1914 when they moved into a new building and sold this one to the Rio Grande Masonic Lodge No. 81.
This building lost most of its Victorian detail in 1933, when a hurricane destroyed its central clock tower and blew off the elaborate gabled roof and cupola. The roof was replaced with a flat roof.
