Hamilton Masonic Lodge

The Hamilton Masonic Lodge stands as a three-story brick structure featuring tall double-sash windows, bracketed eaves, and an open belfry with an arched roof.

Built in 1873 by local builder Richard Ruse for Masonic Lodge No. 37, the building served as both a public school and Masonic meeting place until the 1920s.

The lodge represents the architectural preferences of late 19th-century Virginia Masonic organizations through its Renaissance Revival design and detailed brickwork construction methods.

Located at 43 S. Rogers Street in Hamilton, Virginia, the building remains accessible for viewing from public areas while maintaining its status as private property.

The building holds recognition as the most notable late-19th-century Masonic lodge still standing in northern Virginia, with listings on both state and national registries.
