Inscription. Built before 1863 in Classical Revival Style, this building began its life as a store operated by George Brown in 1863 and then by James and Robert Brown around 1900. The first floor was used as a bank from 1905 to 1970 but the Loyal Orange Lodge #151 purchased it in 1923 and has used its upper floors for meetings since then. It has an octagonal cupola on its roof with a wonderful view out over Richmond.
