Built solely as an investment property by H. H. Lang, superintendent of the Kendall Gold Mine at Kendall, Montana, this block housed not only retail establishments but was also the home of Lewistown Masonic Lodge #37, which had lodge rooms on the second floor. On August 26, 1908 the Masons laid the cornerstone for their own building, foreboding the end of their sojourn in the Lang Block.
