This place was used as a home for kids and the order built and new home and moved and sold this place. The owner has done nothing with it. They where going to demo it for new housing.Willard wrote:Most likely the Masons in the area didn't have enough members that cared enough to keep it.
The lodge I belong to is in a building it built in 1922 and we are working very hard to restore it right now. Most of us at our lodge are very interested in preserving our history.
I also have duel membership in the oldest lodge in Springfield. I did that because they're membership is dropping off and I don't want to see the oldest lodge in Southwest Missouri go.

I think the Masons should buy it back and turn it into a retreat for members. But that's my opinion.8ReDRuM wrote:This place was used as a home for kids and the order built and new home and moved and sold this place. The owner has done nothing with it.
