The nomination covers one contributing building.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the building is a good example of an Italianate civic building in Dutchess County (Criterion C) and is part of the region's social history (Criterion A). It typifies small-town fraternal halls, with a simple first-floor meeting room and a ceremonial space upstairs. The lodge was also described as the last remaining Moon Lodge in New York State.","narrative":"Built in 1865 in the crossroads hamlet of Schultzville, this two-story clapboard building has served as a Masonic hall for generations. It has a gable roof with a deep bracketed cornice, a hexagonal louvered cupola, a mortared fieldstone foundation, and large round-arched windows on the second story. The upper floor holds a high-ceilinged ceremonial lodge room with a cove ceiling, while the first floor is a multi-purpose room. Funds came from a bequest by Theodore A. Schultz, who died in 1862 and left a small lot and $2,000 for the building. Warren Lodge #32 was authorized in 1807, met in Pine Plains and then Lafayette, and moved here in 1865. The building is considered a representative Italianate civic hall, typical of small-town buildings across New York in the later nineteenth century. It remains in use as a lodge and is shared with the Clinton Historical Society for community events.","period_of_significance":"1865-1957","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late Victorian: Italianate","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Still in use as a Masonic hall; the historical society also uses it for music and social events and allows other organizations to use it.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:53.554007-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/07000491.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/07000491/c78de0a9d4-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/07000491/c78de0a9d4-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Crepoudutnysusa","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Warren_Masonic_Lodge_32_side_angle_view.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Crepoudutnysusa</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Warren_Masonic_Lodge_32_side_angle_view.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75317516","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_Lodge_No._32","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14707719"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/dutchess-county/warren-masonic-lodge-32-07000491/"}
