Mt. Moriah Lodge No. 7

Mt. Moriah Lodge No. 7 is a historic two-story building located in Jessup, Maryland, constructed in the late 19th century within a predominantly African American community. It served as a community space and is notable for its architectural style, featuring wood siding and a gable front design. The lodge is situated on a half-acre lot that was donated in 1896, alongside a shared cemetery for its members. Although it has faced challenges, including significant roof damage and reduced property boundaries, the lodge remains a testament to the area's rich history, particularly in relation to the local tobacco trade and community development.
