The Yell Masonic Lodge Hall is a historic
Masonic lodge on the west side of
United States Route 412 in
Carrollton, Arkansas. Also known as Carrollton Masonic Lodge, it is a two-story wood-frame structure measuring about 50 by 35 feet with a front-gable roof, clapboard siding, and a stone foundation. A small belfry rises above the roof, capped by a pyramidal roof. The building was built in 1876, originally serving as a church on the ground floor, and a Masonic meeting hall for Yell Lodge #64 on the second.
[
] The building was a major community center for Carrollton, which was the first county seat of
Carroll County but declined in importance after it was bypassed by the railroads.
In 1962, in a state of decay, the structure was rebuilt by the Arkansas Parks and Publicity Commission. It was listed on the
National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
