LANGFORD MASONIC HALL

The original Goldstream Lodge building was located at 679 Goldstream Avenue, and was our home from its construction in 1960. The first meeting was held in 1960 in the uncompleted hall, chaired by Worshipful Master Ed Dunk. Work continued as funds became available, and in 1974, the mortgage was ceremoniously burned at a banquet presided over by Worshipful Brother Bob Stewart.

Early meetings were held in the Church Hall of St. John the Baptist Church. In 1957, two lots in the new Colwood Golf Course subdivision on Goldstream Avenue were purchased for the purpose of building a new Masonic Hall. This ambitious project was accomplished by volunteers using mostly donated materials. 

Despite numerous attempts to replace the original building, those efforts were unsuccessful, even as adjacent properties were acquired to allow for expansion. In 2020, the Town of Langford expressed interest in purchasing the Lodge properties for the expansion of the adjacent Memorial Park. Their proposal included replacing our Hall with an acceptable accommodation at this location on Bryn Maur Avenue.

Construction began on our new home in 2022, and the Goldstream Lodge Brethren moved in on its completion in the fall of 2024. Besides being the new home for the Langford area Brethren, this building features a dining room and meeting hall on the second floor, with the facilities available for rent to the general public. The ground floor has been designed for lease by commercial enterprises.  

The Masonic portion of the building is maintained and occupied by the Goldstream Masonic Hall Association, and is home to Goldstream Lodge No. 161, Henderson Lodge No. 84 and Job’s Daughters, Bethel #36.
