Euclid Lodge's second lodge hall building, located at 216/218 South Main Street, just around the corner from our present day building. The alley along the side of the building is still used for access to the rear of the buildings located on the block.

Naper's General Store, Built by Joseph Naper, 1847-1849
"Joseph Naper was the town's founder. This store represents but one of his many enterprises, and is the only one remaining within the downtown area. It has been in use as a store since it was erected. The third floor hall held Masonic Lodge meetings beginning in 1851, and served as a public meeting place for many years. The limestone most likely was transported from Lemont, as the building pre-dates the opening of the Naperville quarries."
And this is how the building looks today, April, 2007.
