Depends on the jurisdiction that you are searching for. Some have databases that the members are listed in, but in some older cases they still refer to the card system. All GL's should have records of members from day one, but this is not the case. Fires, floods, incorrect information, lack of...

Here in the state of Mass. it was always worn on the inside, that is because of the dress at the time, wearing a vest made the overcoat to be worn open, this was the style for many years in most jurisdictions, look over some old pre 1910 photographs. Today in my jurisdiction one must wear the...

most good regalia dealers will know the regulation sizes and styles of each jurisdiction. As well as English style aprons for our Canadian brethren. This also goes for most KT's. question for officers of Texas Lodges, what does the regulations state on decoration on officers aprons, I know...

yes there are other sets, Revere came from St. Andrews Lodge which was under the Scottish Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, the two came together and formed what is today the Grand Lodge of Masons of Massachusetts. Revere was Grand master of the Grand Lodge in around 1796. It is said that the...

two of the five lodges in my building have a FC page, I am the Administrator for the one for the Temple, "Cambridge Masonic Temple". It seems to be a good idea with Masonic Lodges and their membership. There are some very good ones out there.

FreeMasonry in New England has a long history, Revere Jewels are just a small bit of what is here, I have been in buildings with canopies over the Worshipful Masters chair, Painted ceilings, vaulted ceilings, murals painted on walls, tiled mosiac pavement, fresco murals on ceilings, even a room...

your GL charges? well for any one of you looking up someone say here in Massachusetts, we have two data bases, the old card system and the computer data base. Our old card system goes back to the early 1700's, there is no charge and you can call the GSec. office and talk to one of the girls...

mike is a friend of mine from across the pond. he is looking for the info on that picture, it was by my recommendation that he seek out the brethren of this forum, since he can not contact the GL of Texas directly. Any help with his quest would be greatly appreciated from this brother in...

I once did an inventory of a Masonic Lodge in Boston, and according to their old records in a inventory of theirs was an Ark of the covenant. I see no other use of this piece of regalia except for the fact that this lodge was one that could confer the royal arch degree. the only thing i do not...

I can not answer for Texas, but for colonial era Chapter Masonry, some of these degrees which were only two could be done in the Blue Lodges. As well as one of the degrees of the Commandery. Paul Revere is said to have taken his Chapter degrees as well as one Commandery order. The degrees in...

This took awhile, funds we slow in coming in to complete the project. The new monument will be a little smaller in size to the original that was going to be put in place just yards from the Washington Elm. I will stop by that day and take some pics and later post them. Groundbreaking took...

The state of Massachusetts has been running these open houses since 1988. The first was October, 1988, which at the Cambridge Temple we had close to fifty people come through the doors. This is one of the first times we had done this and many from the neighborhood never knew what the inside of...

There was at one time over a thousand different fraternal organizations that existed in the world, many with ties to religious groups and churchs. Groups such as the Knights of Columbus, which was started by a Priest for members that could not be members of FreeMasonry. The Knights of Honor...

you can also go to flickr, they have a section for historic masonic buildings with pics of Masonic Temples from all over the world.

thanks, he is one of my favorites, but never knew he was a Senior DeMolay.

the current Potentate of Alleppo Shrine here in Boston is a member of my Royal Arch Chapter, I asked him about this, for one of the hospitals is in Springfield Ma. He has assured me that all the hospitals will stay OPEN. Even Galvenston that was closed has reopened. Maybe some services may...

except in Massachusetts, where there are no numbers given to the Blue Lodges, Chapters and Councils, all go by date of institution and name.

I had heard many years ago from a friend of mine from Greece. That somewhere in a church in Greece they supposably have also a piece of the cross. Again just hear say.

If any of the brethren from Texas or elsewhere on this site is on facebook. search, Cambridge Masonic Temple. Since our buildings 100th anniversary is coming up I put together a little account for the Temple. Events, some pics, some history. Just FYI.

blake, thanks for the info, we have an old pair here at Cambridge on display. We don't use columns here in Massachusetts, at the SW and JW stations we have lights as well as the Masters station. They are used similar to the use of the Warden's columns.
