Main Street for their carpentry and furniture-making business. Lodge 42 loaned Perry and Brady the money for the construction. The Masonic Hall was finished by November, after which the Masons paid a rent of $20 a month. The building was a two story unpainted brick structure with a symbolic "masonic eye" below the parapet. The Masons used this building for their meetings until 1868, when they moved to larger quarters further south. The cornerstone laying ceremony for Masonic Lodge #42 on Main Street.
