Identify this lodge

At a restaurant in Chattanooga TN, there is a sign on the wall, presumably donated by a lodge, that reads “Northern Light Lodge 505 F&AM”

It’s definitely not a Tennessee lodge.
Any ideas where this lodge is/was?

I looked myself and now I am curious. It doesn't seem it is still a working Lodge but appears to have left almost a non existent footprint on the digital record.

The name Ed Worsham is different than the name Northern Light.

Here in Pennsylvania we have Liberty Lodge #505 in Port Allegany, PA. Lodges in PA are known as "F&AM", not "AF&AM", so it's possible someone from this Lodge put this up for whatever reason. Curious.....................

But again, Liberty is not the name of the Lodge in the sign.

fwiw. I found this on Northern Lights Lodge #163 Dekalb, NY but don’t know if there is any relation.
