The building is named after the Freemasons lodge that originally occupied the upper floor of the building. The lower floor was rented as retail space. The first commercial tenant of the two-storey brick building was the Moses Dinkelspiel & Co. dry goods store. Over the years, a variety of businesses have come and gone from the commercial space - it has housed a pool hall, an auto parts store, and a hair salon.[2]

Suisun Lodge no longer meets in the 623 Main St. building, having sold it in 1965[3] to Stanley Beverly Lodge No. 108 (a Prince Hall Affiliate Lodge).[4]
