Description:

Constructed in 1926, the Loyalhanna Lodge No.275, commonly known as the Latrobe Masonic Building, is a steel frame and concrete slab building. It stands five stories above a sloping lot on the southwest corner of Ligonier and Spring Streets in the core of Latrobe’s business district.

Built without a setback from the sidewalk, the Renaissance Revival style building has a flat roof and non-load bearing walls of buff-colored common bond brick highlighted with decorative stone, terra cotta trim and pilasters. In plan, the building is L-shaped with 100’ long elevations fronting both Ligonier and Spring Streets. A one-story brick garage and paved courtyard are located in the space adjacent to an unnamed alley. '

The two-part commercial block building consists of first floor retail spaces, residential apartments on the second and third floors and Masonic meeting spaces on the fourth and fifth floors. The Loyalhanna Lodge No.275 remains virtually unchanged today and retains integrity.
