Euclid Lodge met in the building to the right (DuPage County Cash Store) from 1849 thru 1852. The wording on the front of the building between the second and third floors reads: Crockery Hardware Dry Goods Groceries. The Lodge was organized in 1848 in the frame building to the left of it. These buildings are located on Chicago Avenue which was named River at that time.

"Henry Peaslee, 1850. This is one of Naperville's oldest commercial buildings, similar to Number 30 (214 N. Ellsworth). The building housed a grocery and dry goods store, with dances and social gatherings held in a hall on the third floor."
The picture to the left shows the first lodge hall building as it looks today, April, 2007. Its current address is 40 W. Chicago Avenue. It is just to the east of Rosebud's Italian Restaurant.
