A group of Masons in Ravenna organized in 1887 and petitioned the Grand Lodge of Texas for a charter. In 1889 the lodge moved to the new railroad town of Ector, and in 1901 its name was changed to Ector Lodge No. 687. Its membership met in several locations before moving to this building in 1980. Throughout its history, the lodge has maintained an active interest in the community and in charitable projects, and its members have included area pioneers and prominent citizens.
