The first Masonic Lodge was formed in Tuolumne City in 1970, but moved to the new town of Modesto in March of 1871. During the next thirty-six years various rooms and buildings housed the Mason. The lodge grew and prospered from 1908 until 1916 when it was decided that new quarters were needed. On August 11, 1917, the cornerstone for this building was laid. Deposited within the cornerstone were the names of the officers and members of Stanislaus Lodge No. 206, Modesto Chapter No. 49, and Electa Chapter No. 72, O. E. S., copies of the Evening News and the Morning Herald, a copy of the city charter, and the names of the Masonic Hall Building Association members. This two-story concrete building was erected in 1917 at a cost of $30,000. The first story originally contained an auditorium, a reception room, a ladies parlor, a billiard room and the kitchen. The second floor was devoted exclusively to lodge activities. This fine neoclassical building is one of the few remaining examples of this style in Modesto.

The original owner, W. H. Howell, was the postmaster. The following description is from Virginia H. Lish, October 1997: We purchased this home in 1968 from Mrs. Edith Tennyson who had lived in the house for 43 years. At the time of our purchase Mrs. Ila Howell who was in her eighties was living next door at 127 Poplar. I spent many hours visiting with her and she shared her wealth of information about my home. She told me that her parents built both homes in the late 1890s and early 1900s so that she and her husband would be close by; that is why the houses were connected by a sidewalk at the back. According to Mrs. Howell, the builder was a man known as the “Old Swede” and the inside finish work took over six months. All of the trim, molding, and cabinetry were hand milled. In the first remodeling, we uncovered pieces of wood that had been spliced so perfectly that we thought they were from one piece of wood. We also discovered that the house was built on 16 inch centers with full dimension studs, beams, trusses, etc. The house is featured in The Bungalow, America’s Arts & Crafts Home by Paul Duchscherere & Douglas Keister, Penguin Books, 1995.
