DescriptionMasonic Hall after the fire of 1968 (14001003058).jpg |
English: Plans for building Hamilton’s first Central Masonic Temple were drawn up in 1870. The building, located on the southeast corner of James Street North and Gore Street (Wilson) was quite ornate. It opened officially on July 1, 1873 with 600 lodge members dressed in full regalia marching through the downtown from the Mechanics’ Hall to the new hall accompanied by the band of the 13th Battalion. In 1968 they were about to be expropriated by the City as the location was to be demolished for the York Street widening and development project. Before that could happen, however, on the evening of September 27, 1968 flames broke out in a janitor’s closet and quickly spread to all floors. Because of the speed with which the fire spread many historical artifacts and documents were lost to the 24 lodges who used the facility. As the fire went through the roof the building collapsed and was completely destroyed. 038-32022189084193 |
