The cornerstone for this Masonic Lodge was laid on August 17th, 1915, the building itself costing about $12,000. Chartered on September 20, 1906 as Whitefish No. 64, this lodge met here for many years but has vacated the premises and now meets at Kalispell Trinity Lodge #152 the first & third Tuesday of every month. They apparently met in rented or borrowed quarters for nine years, until the erection of this building in 1915. It's not known when the lodge vacated this lodge building.

It's a large, two story brick building with full basement, the style being distinctly Romanesque. The ground floor and basement have housed many establishments through the years, including the Whitefish post office, and a hostel. The basement has been home to Loula's Cafe for several years now.

In March of 2011 the main floor of the building, then owned by Rob Pero, was transformed into an event centre entitled Brix Elegant Events.

"The center offers an expansive space for weddings and other special events for up to 150 people, plus a smaller party suite that can accommodate up to 30 people.
