History
This building was constructed to replace a previous store that burned in 1874. The second floor meeting hall was used by the Free Methodist Church for services from 1887 to 1890. In 1903 Otisville Lodge #401 (a local Masonic lodge) purchased the building, and used it as their meeting hall. It was owned by the Masons until 1970.[2] The lodge has moved to other premises.[3] The building remained vacant until at least the 1980s, but was then refurbished.[4]
