1974: PEDIMENTED GABLE. PEDIMENT ON CORINTHIAN COLUMNS FRAMING ENTRY. STONE LINTELS AND SILLS.

2013- "This two-and-one-half-story, brick, front gable structure was built in 1926 and served as a Masonic Temple until 2004, when it was purchased and turned into private residences. The front (north) facade is characterized by symmetry and classical detailing around the entry. The central entrance is surrounded by en engaged limestone portico resting on Corinthian columns. Above the door the Masonic square and compass have been carved into the stone, and above the portico the words "Masonic Temple" are incised. Paired windows on the first and second story flank the entrance. The one-over-one storm windows with simple limestone sills and lintels shield what appears to be the original stained glass behind. Within the gable end is a band of three small, square, one-over-one, double-hung sash windows. The side (east and west) elevations feature sliding replacement windows on both the first and second floors. The roof is covered with asphalt shingles and the property is accessed from the street by wide, gently sloping concrete stairs.

The land for the building was donated to the Waterloo Masonic Lodge 63 by Jay Zimbrick in the early 1920s. The lodge was founded in 1855; however, it did not have its own formal building prior to the dedication of this structure in 1927."
