Masonic BuildingCirca 1923 |
This handsome three story building was dedicated as the new home of the Centralia Masonic Lodge No. 63 on April 7, 1923. Built at the cost of $75,000, the structure houses retail spaces on the first floor, office and a social hall on the second floor, while the third floor is reserved for lodge purposes.
The entrance columns, posts, balusters and rails are the best quality cast stone. The exposesed brick work on the facades of the building are faced with "Washington Brick Lime" and "Sewer Pipe Company" brick. "Joseph's Coat" finish was added to the brick to give it slightly variegated shades of color. Interior building materials consist of maple and fir. The entire project used the finest of building materials, with close supervision given to every detail. This is one of Centralia's most handsome commercial buildings.
