In 1959 the Lakeville United Methodist Church built a new building on the North end of Lakeville. The old building was purchased by our Lodge and converted into a masonic temple. In 2005, that building was purchased by the St. Joseph County Public Library. The building was removed and a new library was built in its place. Here are some pictures from our old Lodge building:
