This building was erected in 1822-1823 on a lot deeded to Lodge No. 25 on October 8, 1822, by General Thomas Godbold.

James Bellune was the builder, and although altered in 1960, the original structure remains intact under the new siding and brick veneer, making it the oldest original building in continuous use for Masonic Meetings in South Carolina.

The architectural style shows the influence of Robert Mills. Impressive entrance doors have the original locks and keys. The main floor was framed with a gable roof and projecting portico, and the steps (now enclosed) lead from the ground to the main floor.

The basement of the lodge was used as a school for many years after the Academy burned, and some early church groups worshipped here.

According to the Grand Lodge website, meetings are held the second Tuesday of every month at 7:30 pm with a meal at 7:00 pm.
