Built in 1804 as a one room school house. Enlarged in 1871 to the accommodate lodge.
"The first structure on this site was a one-room schoolhouse, built c. 1800. In 1804, 23 local Masons received permission to establish a new Lodge. They expanded the building to its present size, meeting on the second story, while the fist floor continued to be used as a school until 1870. The Masons then took title to the entire building. The Lodge still holds its meetings there."
