Fifth Location In 1903, Hampton Lodge No. 204, A.F.M. purchased an empty lot on the North-East corner of Evans Street and Irby Street. The brothers did nothing with the property until 1906. Then the brothers incorporated the Lodge and sold bonds for $35,000 to build their first lodge building. The building was finished in 1907 and Hampton Lodge No. 204 moved in on March 22, 1907. Hampton Lodge No. 204 met on the third floor facing the court house. This was the first location they did not rent from Harmony Lodge No. 8, Knights of Pythias.
