Mooringsport Masonic Lodge

The Mooringsport Masonic Lodge is a two-story red brick religious, fraternal, and social facility that was built in 1916 for the local Brotherhood of Freemasons and Order of the Eastern Star. The Beaux-Arts styled building was designed by Edward Neild and despite a few alterations, the lodge retains essentially most of its historic appearance to convey its significance as a structural advancement as one of the first professionally designed masonry constructed commercial structures in the town’s downtown business district. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on October 10, 2023.

The Village of Mooringsport currently owns the building, with hopes of obtaining grant funds and donations to rehabilitate the building and keep its historic integrity. The village would like for this to be the first of several rehabilitation projects of commercial buildings and private homes in their community.
