A view of the first and main building of the former Illinois Masonic Home in Sullivan, Illinois. Constructed in 1904, the building was built as a home for the indigent and their families. According to Mark Leonard at the The Heartland Newsfeed Radio Network, "For the many years that followed, it operated as the Illinois Masonic Home. offering apartments, duplexes, and nursing care for the elderly, both Masons and non-Masons.
According to Leonard, "In 2004, the facility was developing an assisted living program. However, in 2008, the Grand Lodge of Illinois sold the facility amidst declining interest in people traveling across the state to live there. Petersen (Health Care) assumed operations of the facility in 2009."
Most recently known as Mason Point, the facility closed in September of 2022 due to no longer being fiscally viable despite a $15 million investment by Peterson in the facilities.
