Property Description

An opportunity to reimagine a historical gem.. Directly across from the landmark Mary Willis Library-Georgia's first free public library, this grand 19th-century brick masterpiece commands East Liberty Street with bracketed eaves, arched windows, a central tower, and a classic columned portico. Built in 1882 as a grand Methodist sanctuary and later home to LaFayette Masonic Lodge No. 23, the interior impresses with soaring 20 foot ceilings, tall sash windows, chandelier lighting, a graceful balcony gallery, and a dignified proscenium-an inspiring, light-filled hall for gatherings. Outside, a side lawn framed by vintage stone bench seating invites concerts, lectures, or quiet reflection beneath mature trees. History that resonates: According to lodge records, this was the first building where Masonic lodge meetings were permitted on a first-floor hall, and its dedication drew more than 400 attendees-a grand civic moment that still echoes today. It was also the setting for two milestones in the life of statesman Robert Toombs: his baptism (by Bishop George F. Pierce) and, in 1885, his funeral services were held in the little brick Methodist church that once worshiped here. Endless possibilities (subject to city approval): event venue or performing-arts space, gallery or museum, community/civic hall, boutique office or studio collective, cultural center, or an inspired adaptive-reuse vision steps from Washington's historic Square. A rare opportunity to steward a significant Washington landmark-one ready for someone to love, restore, and thoughtfully reimagine-set in a walkable, story-rich district anchored by the Mary Willis Library and neighboring architectural gems.
