Lee's Chapel Church and Masonic Hall is a historic Masonic building in rural northern Independence County, Arkansas, US. It is located on Sandtown Road, about 8 miles (13 km) east of Cushman. It is a two-story gable-roofed structure, built out of concrete blocks resting on a poured concrete foundation. The roof is shingled, and topped by a small belfry.[2] It was built in 1946 as a joint project of the Lee's Chapel Methodist Church and Montgomery Lodge No. 360.[3] The lodge subsequently moved to Cave City.[4]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.[1] It is distinctive as the only known concrete-block church in the northwestern part of the county.[2]
