}}Masons' Hall, located in the Shockoe Bottom neighborhood of Richmond, Virginia was built during 1785 to 1787 by Richmond Lodge No.10. It was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[2]

At the time of its NRHP listing, it was the oldest Masonic building in the United States that was built as a Masonic meetingplace and used continuously for that purpose, and one of few surviving buildings from the 18th century in Richmond. It was reportedly protected from fire by the command of a Union general, also a Mason, when the Union army occupied Richmond in 1865.[3]

An early non-Masonic meeting held there provided instruction to Virginia's delegates to the U.S. Constitutional Convention.[3][4]

The building has an octagonal cupola.[3]
