‘Manchester Masonic memories’

    

My favorite Masonic temple in all New Hampshire will be celebrated on its hundredth anniversary next Sunday with a cornerstone re-dedication. Wish I could be there.

I hope they’ll put that time capsule on social media.

I bet they had a good day on Wednesday, June 24, 1925 for laying the cornerstone of this building. There was a procession involving several lodges, plus a commandery and DeMolay. Music was provided by a band (marching band, I assume) and the Orpheus Quartet. (Dartmouth had a music club named Orpheus, a choir of about fifty voices, and I wonder if this was a foursome from that group.)

And 1925 was a good year for Masonic temples in the Granite State (and practically everywhere else in the country), with cornerstone ceremonies and/or dedications also at Keene, Derry, Concord, Canaan, Farmington, maybe others.

Have fun, brethren!
