A second stone located at Morton Lodge No. 72, in Richmond.
The first lodge hall, located on Jackson Street, was replaced in 1855 by a larger building on the corner of 3rd and Morton Streets. The three-story brick structure also housed the county courthouse, and was destroyed by fire in 1887. A third facility, built at this site, was replaced by our current building in 1913. (
