Masonic Lodge No. 36 of the Grand Jurisdiction of Florida was established in 1856 and is stioll serving under a warrant issued that year. This building was erected here in 1859; the upper story has been continually used for lodge meetings. The original lower floor was used as post office, school, church and general store. Masons from miles around visited the community, which was known as the The Lodge until the Town of Apopka City was chartered in 1882. In 1952, due to the effects of deterioration and highway widening, the lower story was removed and replaced. Orange Lodge No. 36 is a "Moon Lodge" and meets on or before the full moon and two weeks thereafter.
