The Russell Lodge No. 284, also known as the Jamestown Masonic Lodge, on Public Square in Jamestown, Kentucky, is a Masonic Hall which was built in 1939. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
It is a two-story stone building. It has a NaNfeet open area on its second floor. The first floor was renovated in 2019 and is currently the home of world famous Cumberland Guitars. [1]
Its 1993 NRHP nomination asserts that "In Kentucky, a rural state with limited ethnic diversity, fraternal organizations were the primary secular social group available to men (Martin: 216). The building is significant to us today insofar as it helps us to understand the vital role that such civic groups played in the cultural life of localities."[1]
