The Stickney Building and Masonic Apartments were built in Cambridge in 1888 to a Richardsonian Romanesque design by George F. Loring. It followed Loring's nearby Odd Fellows Building by three years, part of a string of local commissions he took on in the neighborhood through the 1880s.

Richardsonian Romanesque (c. 1870–1900): Muscular rough-cut stone, huge low round arches on stubby columns, and round corner towers.
