720 Purdy St. at 5th Brookshire Lodge Masonic Lodge #1066 was chartered December 5, 1912. The story goes that previous to that time the Masons in the area had to ride the ferry across the Brazos River to attend Lodge meetings in San Felipe. At that time it cost five cents to ride the ferry, so the Brothers decided that it would be cheaper to have their own Lodge.
