History

The three-story red brick building was completed in 1894.[2] It was built by James A. Bowling, whose money came from the sale of prison farmland.[3] The West Nashville Masonic Lodge was founded there in 1898.[4] The building was used by the Freemasons from 1901 to 1915.[4] In the 1920s, rooms on the third floor were rented as the Richland Hall Hotel.[3]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[5]
