Eagle Lodge is a historic Masonic lodge building located at Hillsborough, Orange County, North Carolina. It was built in 1823, and two-story, three-bay, square brick building in the Greek Revival style. It has a low hipped roof with heavy box cornice and a one-story pedimented porch with Ionic order columns.[2]
The Eagle Lodge was first chartered in 1791 and disbanded in 1799. It was re-started in 1819, and decided in 1820 to build a building. This was designed probably by North Carolina's state architect William Nichols.[2]
It came to serve as the town's lecture hall, opera house, Civil War hospital, and other functions. It was also known as the King Street Opera House.[2]
It was deemed architecturally significant "as an interesting example of the adaptive usage of early Greek Revival motifs in a building constructed specifically as a Masonic lodge."[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.[1] It is located in the Hillsborough Historic District.
