About This Property

Stephenville Masonic Lodge No. 267 formed in 1860, shortly after the community was established. They built their  first lodge hall in 1912 to 1913 on the site where Erath County’s first jail was located, on the corner of W. College St.  and S. Columbia Ave. In 1973, the lodge replaced that two-story limestone building with the one-story brick ell-shaped  building with a hipped roof that is their meeting hall today. The lodge building’s entryway is at the bottom of the ell, on  the façade, or east elevation facing S. Columbia Ave. A single door is located under a flat metal awning. There are no  windows on the east elevation. The north elevation along W. College St. has no doors or windows. In 2012, the lodge  erected a Texas Historic Subject Marker that honors their rich history in the community.
