Built on the SW corner of W 8th and S Burlington in 1916, on a never-before-built lot, it has a grand piano nobile over a retail base. Great windows:

The 1890 home at 807 S Burlington (pictured above) seems more than a little overwhelmed by the brick bulk of the lodge.
Everyone knows Bradbeer & Ferris' 1894 Frederick Mitchell Mooers house at 818 S Bonnie Brae, just around the corner from the Masons (an upper corner of the lodge may be just glimpsed at left):

I don't know how I've missed that Masonic Lodge all these years - now I'll have to go check it out in person.
And, everyone knows the Mooers house, but I've never seen that photo - er, screen cap, really - of it. Very interesting read and set of photos overall from IAmNotAStalker.
