LYNN — Charles Patsios has purchased the historic Masonic Hall building on Market Street for $1.1 million, according to the South Essex Registry of Deeds.
The deal for the four-story, brick building closed on Monday.

The 23,000-square-foot landmark, owned by the Lynn Masonic Temple Association, is assessed at $560,600, according to The Warren Group.
Built in 1880, the high Victorian Gothic architectural style property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
