Mason's Hall, Historic Masonic building in Shockoe Bottom, Richmond, United States
The three-story Mason's Hall features an octagonal cupola on its roof and maintains original architectural elements from its late 18th-century construction period.
Built between 1785 and 1787 through community fundraising efforts, Mason's Hall became the first purpose-built Masonic structure in the United States.
Richmond Randolph Lodge No. 19 members gather in the third-floor meeting room, continuing traditions established when the building opened in 1787.
The building stands at its original location in Richmond, Virginia, serving as an active Masonic lodge while maintaining its status as a historic landmark.
During the Union army occupation of Richmond in 1865, a general specifically ordered the protection of Mason's Hall from fire damage.
