101 N MAIN ST 

W. H. Price of Midlothian built the Masonic Lodge building in 1900. In 1910, Jay Grow added to the rear of the building. The structure was divided in half, at that time, with the south half being the home for Masonic Lodge 331 and the north being occupied  by a hardware store. Proprietors were Charles William McClane and Benjamin Franklin Ramsey. 

Several hardware and dry goods stores occupied the building after McClane and Ramsey. They included: James Clay and  brother Al Stone’s, Stone Brothers Mercantile, 1904 -1906;  Back and Bradford Hardware, in 1906; Mendelstamm Ready to Wear, late 1930’s to 1940’s; Sprinkle Dairy home delivery, from 1936 to 1948. 

Jack Medwell purchased the clothing store from Mr. Mendelstamm in the early 1940’s. Mr. Back left the hardware business and it remained in the Bradford family until the 1960’s when James Wynn purchased it. In the late 1960’s or early 1970’s, Bob Ellis ran a furniture repair business from the building. Phillips Real Estate and Insurance was in the building and it is said that Clark Grocery was also there. The first floor is currently vacant. The second floor occupant is Brick and Mortar Salon.  

The building is a registered Mansfield Historic Landmark.
