Waverly Lodge 51 after looking at many architectural styles, settled on the Norman style. The idea of a medieval influence was served as a reminder their fraternal brothers whose independent actions, Masons believe, freed them from suppressive church and feudal control, and whose philosophies influenced modern Freemasonary. The architects were Leenhouts and Gutherie of Milwaukee.

The building was nominated for representing the prominent role blayed by the Masonic order in Appleton during its peak years of membership in the 1920's and 30's.
