Its symmetrical, stuccoed, flat-roofed form is in the Moderne style. The main entry passes through a centered, one-story open pavilion with three segmented arched openings, finished at each end by a tall, massive pylon. Linear motifs on the pylons are repeated in the roof parapet and across the building, and rectangular parapet details and a round medallion on the front facade add ornament. Windows are steel casements with heavy concrete sills. The building is in good condition and sits on a site of less than one acre. It is listed for its architecture, as one of very few Moderne buildings in San Angelo. Construction took place while the city was booming and many social and cultural facilities were being built. The lodge remains a focal point in the central city and still serves its ceremonial and institutional purposes. The architect and builder are not known.","period_of_significance":"c. 1927-31","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Moderne","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Physical condition is described as good, and the building continues to serve ceremonial and institutional purposes.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.524671-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/93/9701/40970193/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/88002580.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88002580/f44684fd49-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88002580/f44684fd49-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"25or6to4","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Masonic_Lodge_570,_San_Angelo,_TX.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">25or6to4</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Masonic_Lodge_570,_San_Angelo,_TX.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40970193","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masonic_Lodge_570","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6783696"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/tom-green-county/masonic-lodge-570-88002580/"}
