Palatine Masonic Lodge #314

The story

The Palatine Masonic Lodge was organized in 1859 and initially met on the third floor of what is now the Lamplighter Grill and Tavern (Wilson and Bothwell Streets). The fraternal organization built its own dedicated building in 1904 at this prominent downtown corner location. As the oldest and largest fraternity in the world, the Masons used the building for meetings, ceremonies, and community gatherings. The lodge maintained approximately 300 members at the time of relocation.
