726 Main Street
Masonic Doric Lodge #83
This building was completed in 1891 to serve
as home for the Eudora branch of the
Ancient Order of United Workers (Lodge #112).
The Eudora branch of the Ancient Free and
Accepted Masons (Doric Lodge #83) started
to meet at this location in the 1890's
and eventually assumed ownership of the
building. The Masons met on the second floor
while renting the first floor to various
businesses over the years, including barber
shops and restaurants.
