The neoclassical structure is rendered in full architectural detail, framed by manicured lawns and blooming gardens, with a portrait inset of Supreme Commander D.P. Markey at the upper left. Below the image is a printed plaque identifying the building and date of organization (1881).

Presented with its original self-framed dark border with a warm, worn patina and scattered surface losses, the piece bears visible foxing, scratches, and spots consistent with long-term display. A compelling fraternal ephemera piece reflecting early 20th-century lodge culture and civic pride. See less
