It’s Wandering Wednesday!

It’s Wandering Wednesday!

We’re starting off a fun new series from Albemarle Downtown

Each Wednesday, we’ll post a photo and a clue about a historic downtown location. Your mission? Guess which building it is! It's a great way to explore the stories behind the places we pass every day.

This Week’s Clue:

In the 1890s, this site was home to a Masonic Lodge. A new building was completed in 1901—but sadly, it burned down that same year.

Don’t miss a week — follow us on Facebook at Albemarle Downtown to join the fun!
