Since 1860, this remarkable building has been home to Red Mt. Lodge, No. 68, A.F. & A.M. Of the Free and Accepted Masons—a quiet yet steadfast presence in the heart of town for over 175 years. Originally constructed as a cabinetmaker’s shop, this enduring structure has gracefully adapted to the changing needs of the community through nearly two centuries. Its storied past includes time spent as a shoe shop, dressmaking and millinery establishment, cigar shop, jewelry stop, and even as the town library—each chapter adding to the rich character etched into its walls. A number of local organizations have called it home over the years, using the space for meetings, social gatherings, and civic functions. Throughout it all, the building has been carefully maintained to withstand the test of time—both physically and in spirit—remaining a familiar and respected landmark at the center of town life. Now, with the next chapter waiting to be written, this historic property offers a rare opportunity to become part of its legacy. A symbol of community and continuity, it's ready to embrace a new purpose while honoring its proud past.
