A lodge in state of disrepair and ancient (3-3)

I believe the answer is:

age-old

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'ancient' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a lodge in state of disrepair' is the wordplay.
'a lodge' anagrams to 'AGE-OLD'.
Though, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for age-old that I've seen before include "Lasting from times long ago" , "Dating from long ago" , "Extremely ancient" , "Hallowed by antiquity" , "Having been around for many years" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
