Like the proverbial phoenix rising above the ashes, Lassen Lodge F.&AM lost their lodge in a fire in 1921. On July 19,1924 the Masons awarded a contract for a new lodge with T.J. Reese of Fallon, Nevada. The cost $35,500 for the two-story native stone building. The Roman Doric design was the work of local architect, Ralph D. Taylor.  On August 21, a cornerstone ceremony was held. The contract stipulated a completion date no later than January 1, 1925. It should be noted that this was the last major native stone building constructed in Susanville
