The former home of The Banner-Press is getting some new residents.
The Fidelity Masonic Lodge #51 in David City purchased the building located at 339 E St. in October 2018. The group hopes to have it fixed up and converted into its new meeting hall by 2021.
Lodge members Mike Jones and Rex Rehmer said the group currently meets on the second floor in the building at 460 E St. Because many of its members are senior citizens, Jones said the lodge has been looking for a meeting spot on the ground level for the past five years. At one point, the group even considered buying a plot of land and constructing a brand new facility.
