The Walhalla Lodge Room.
Â
The Walhalla Masonic Lodge Building was built in 1866 and was the home of the Wesleyan Chapel until 1877 when it was purchased by Freemasons. Founded in 1877, Walhalla's Masonic lodge No 69 is an old and distinguished Lodge. The Walhalla Lodge room is located right above the band rotunda opposite the Star Hotel. Older members using walking sticks climb the stairs with steadfastness - a very masonic thing to do. They make city masons complaining about no lifts in buildings look weak! The Lodge meets on the 2nd Saturday at 7:30, but if attending over the coming months – check with the secretary - the main bridge from the town to the lodge room is currently closed and the lodge may be meeting elsewhere.
Â
It is great to see such an important part of our masonic history preserved and being used by lodges.
