Cuba Lodge No. 312 A.F. and A.M., Missouri

Historic building

National Register of Historic Places

Cuba's Masonic lodge, No. 312, is housed in a stone building in Cuba, MO, just off the old road. Built in 1940, it is a single-story hall made of native sandstone laid in random, squared blocks. For Route 66 travellers, it is a handsome example of building with native stone, and it sits among several other listed buildings in Cuba.

What is Cuba Lodge No. 312 A.F. and A.M.?

The lodge is a simple rectangle, one story tall, but the stonework lifts it above the ordinary. The sandstone is dressed, meaning the blocks were trimmed and squared, and it is set in an irregular pattern rather than even rows. The roof combines a gable and a hip at the front, and a small gabled porch projects over the entrance.

The building joined the National Register in 2014.
