The Aladdin page info should have been merged here then deleted.
The Shidle Lodge Masonic Hall uses 417 as it’s address.
Because it is a hallway entrance to the right.

Address appears to be 110 N. Second Street, which is US-522.
Building is still standing to the right of an F&M Trust drive thru facility.
