The Suisun Masonic Lodge No. 55, also known as Stanley Y. Beverley Lodge, is a Masonic Lodge in Suisun City, California. Its historic building was built in 1855. It was designed by Hiram Rush. The building served as a clubhouse and as a business. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 as "Suisun Masonic Lodge No. 55".^[1] The building has also been known locally as the Stanley Beverly Lodge building.

The Freemasons occupied the upper floor of the building, with the lower floor rented as retail space. The first commercial tenant of the two-storey brick building was the Moses Dinkelspiel & Co. dry goods store. Over the years, a variety of businesses have come and gone from the commercial space - it has housed a pool hall, an auto parts store, and a hair salon.^[2]

Suisun Lodge no longer meets in the 623 Main St. building, having sold it in 1965^[3] to Stanley Beverly Lodge No. 108 (a Prince Hall Affiliate Lodge).^[4]
