Marker Text: ​The petition to form a Masonic lodge in Bellville was initiated by members of Chappell Hill Lodge No. 7. Bellville Lodge No. 223 was chartered in 1858. Zimri Hunt, an early Bellville lawyer, served as first worshipful master. In 1858, lodge members erected a two-story building at this site. Meetings were held on the upper floor, and the first floor was used for church and school purposes until 1881. Early members of the Bellville Masonic Lodge were active in political business, educational, and religious affairs of the community. (1986)
