History

This building was constructed to replace a previous store that burned in 1874. The second floor meeting hall was used by the Free Methodist Church for services from 1887 to 1890. In 1903 Otisville Lodge #401 (a local Masonic lodge) purchased the building, and used it as their meeting hall. It was owned by the Masons until 1970.[2] The lodge has moved to other premises.[3] The building remained vacant until at least the 1980s, but was then refurbished.[4]

Description

The second floor consists of a series of panels, containing four windows similar in to those at the first floor level. Brick corbelling runs across the cornice.[4]

gollark: Here is a similar thing for JSON. Note that it delegates out to an external JSON library for string escaping.```luafunction safe_json_serialize(x, prev) local t = type(x) if t == "number" then if x ~= x or x <= -math.huge or x >= math.huge then return tostring(x) end return string.format("%.14g", x) elseif t == "string" then return json.encode(x) elseif t == "table" then prev = prev or {} local as_array = true local max = 0 for k in pairs(x) do if type(k) ~= "number" then as_array = false break end if k > max then max = k end end if as_array then for i = 1, max do if x[i] == nil then as_array = false break end end end if as_array then local res = {} for i, v in ipairs(x) do table.insert(res, safe_json_serialize(v)) end return "["..table.concat(res, ",").."]" else local res = {} for k, v in pairs(x) do table.insert(res, json.encode(tostring(k)) ..
