I’m not sure about this but is it the Carrollton Masonic Lodge?
Posted by W. White | May 10, 2010, 3:10 pmNope, keep guessing!
Posted by ELMalvaney | May 10, 2010, 3:45 pmWhat a fabulous building! Is it the masonic lodge in Fayette?
Posted by Belinda | May 10, 2010, 4:15 pmWoo-hoo, Belinda wins a point! You can get one more point by adding more information to that.
Posted by ELMalvaney | May 10, 2010, 4:17 pmSold in 2004 to a Brookhaven lumber company…
Posted by Tom Barnes | May 10, 2010, 5:12 pmThomas Hinds Lodge No. 58 F&AM, the oldest brick structure in Fayette, constructed in 1854. Since 2004, the Lodge has been closed, owned by a Brookhaven lumber company.

Posted by W. White | May 10, 2010, 5:29 pmI love those Gothic windows on the first floor, giving away the religious origins. Very cool.

Posted by Tom Barnes | May 10, 2010, 5:30 pmVolume 60 of “The Southern Reporter” describes a 1912 dispute over the lease agreement between the Thomas Hinds Lodge #58 and the Presbyterian Church of Fayette – resulting in the Church moving out of the lower floor of the building.
Posted by Belinda | May 10, 2010, 5:32 pmI was online (working!) at 3 when the picture was posted. I could figure out it was a masonic something…due to the symbol on the door. Not being from MS, that was it for me.
Imagine my surprise when I checked later tonight to discover it was Lafayette!…which I accidentally stumbled upon a year ago when I made a wrong turn out of Natchez. After we drove out of town–thanks to a local who helped us get back to the highway–I remarked to my friend “I should have been taking pictures of all these neat buildings.”
Posted by Susan Allen | May 10, 2010, 9:27 pmSure, I believe you were working, Susan, totally believe it ;-l
Let this be a lesson to you to always stop and take pictures!
Posted by ELMalvaney | May 10, 2010, 10:15 pmYay, points all around, although *mysteriously* there’s still a little recent tidbit of information out there if someone else wants to earn a point.
Posted by ELMalvaney | May 10, 2010, 10:16 pmI believe the building was recently acquired by the City of Fayette.
Posted by Theodore | May 11, 2010, 11:36 amBingo! My little mystery has been solved.
Posted by ELMalvaney | May 11, 2010, 12:59 pmI should know this, but I can’t recall. Is is about to be a MS Landmark? I know there’s been talk about demolishing it, but think I heard that there was something in place (or going in place) to protect it more than it is.
Posted by JRGordon | May 11, 2010, 11:55 amHaven’t heard anything about making it a Landmark.
Posted by ELMalvaney | May 11, 2010, 1:00 pmIt didn’t really sound right to me either, but it was the best guess I could attempt to make today.
Posted by JRGordon | May 11, 2010, 1:30 pmWell, nice try, maybe you’ll catch the next one. Or maybe I’ll stump everyone like I always try to.
