The Masonic Lodge Building at 701 Main Street was constructed in early 1900.
With an onion dome spire soaring majestically from the corner tower, the Lodge
became a major element in Georgetown's streetscape and skyline. Constructed
of heavily rusticated limestone, the building features arched door and window
openings. The ground floor housed a drugstore and, for a time, the post office,
before a furniture store took possession until 1982. The Masons continued to
meet upstairs until 1982. When renovations were completed in 1983 the building
became home to the Orient Square restaurant which is still in operation today.

President Executive Director /

` In order to receive this award, a governmental unit must publish a budget document that meets
