Originally constructed as a meeting place for the Knights of Pythias, it was later the meeting place of Highlands Lodge No. 86, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons.[citation needed]
It is a two-story red brick front-gabled building with four gray brick pilasters in its symmetrical front facade. It is 36 by 75 feet (11 m × 23 m) in plan. Its cornice and pediment are supported by decorative brackets. [2]
It is unusual for a Classical Revival building to have been front-gabled, but that configuration can work well in a narrow lot as here.[2]
