The E.S. Swayze Drugstore in Otisville, Michigan, United States, also known as Otisville Mason Lodge No. 401, is a building from 1874. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 and designated as a Michigan State Historic Site in 2010.
This building was constructed to replace a previous store that burned in 1874. The second floor meeting hall was used by the Free Methodist Church for services from 1887 to 1890. In 1903 Otisville Lodge #401 (a local Masonic lodge) purchased the building, and used it as their meeting hall. It was owned by the Masons until 1970.[1] The lodge has moved to other premises.[2] The building remained vacant until at least the 1980s, but was then refurbished.

The second floor consists of a series of panels, containing four windows similar in to those at the first floor level. Brick corbelling runs across the cornice.
