First chartered December 11, 1823. Current charter December 15, 1852.

Masonry was somewhat active in Warrenton prior to the date of Mt. Carmel's first charter of December 11, 1823. The Grand Lodge of Virginia issued a charter to Warrington Lodge No.69 on 14 December 1803, with James Wright as Master; Gideon Johnston, S.W.; and William Hayes, J.W. For an undetermined period meetings were held in a room of the courthouse building which was equipped for this purpose. After a span of years this Lodge went out of existence.

Mt. Carmel Lodge No. 133 in Warrenton, Virginia has operated under three separate charters issued by the Grand Lodge of Virginia; the first being dated December 11, 1823; the second being dated December 16, 1846; and the third and last being dated December 15, 1852. The first communication of this Lodge was held in Warrenton on January 9, 1824 by virtue of said first charter with Edward E. Cook as Master.

For reasons which do not appear in the minutes, the Lodge ceased to function or meet from May 28, 1835 to April 27, 1846. It meet on the last named date and did not convene again until September 22, 1852. Moreover, it was dormant during the Civil War, and no meetings were held from February 26, 1861 to September 26, 1865.

From 1831 until 1877, Mt. Carmel Lodge met in the brick building which was owned by the Odd Fellows at the corner of Main and North Second streets.

The lodge then met on the third floor of the brick building on Culpeper Street from June 14, 1877 until it moved to the present location on Stuyvesant Street in 1969.
