KERRISDALE MASONIC HALL

For almost a century the Kerrisdale Masonic Hall has been a part of the local community.  The building you see was purchased for the sum of $9000 and officially opened as a Masonic Hall in 1924 with the formation of an Ownership association by members of Zion Lodge No. 77. Originally a dance hall, extensive renovations were done before the first Lodge meeting on September 2nd of that year.  

Originally the building had only one space for retail on the ground floor and was occupied by Vancouver Postal Station E.  In 1961, a second space was added, and the spaces have been occupied by jewellers, linen shops, and pharmacies.  Today the tenants are Quilts ETC and Vangead Financil Services. In 1964, major renovations were done to the building to create a new banquet room for meals after Lodge meetings (known to us as a Repast) as well as to enclose the ground level.  Some of the original exterior can still be seen in the corridor inside. Restorative renovations were undertaken in 1997 and in the following year the building was given a Class B Heritage Award by the city of Vancouver.  

There are 18 Lodges and Concordant Bodies that use this Masonic Hall as a meeting place. If you want to learn more about these Lodges and Concordant Bodies you can do so further down the page.
