The Masonic Block, at 31 Sixth Avenue North was built in 1887 in two parts, the first being a 50 by 90 feet (15 m × 27 m) part with four brick pilasters and a pressed metal cornice. The center of the cornice contains the words "MASONIC BLOCK", the date "1887" and a Masonic emblem. A second 50 by 90 feet (15 m × 27 m) part was built adjacent, with identical cornice and finial.[2] In 2013, no Masonic lodges were known to be scheduled to meet in the building.[3]
