We are pleased to announce the new display installation at the 6th floor of our Grand Lodge building. The compact exhibit display showcases the trowel that laid the cornerstone of New York Masonic Hall, accompanying the architectural drawing of the building, drawn by the architect, Bro. Harry P. Knowles.
The trowel was presented to MW Townsend Scudder by Pyramid Lodge No. 490, the lodge Bro. Knowles was a member on May 6th 1908. The cornerstone was originally laid for the extension part on the side of 24th Street and 6th Avenue.
The cornerstone was rededicated again in December 5th, 2010, by MW Vincent Libone, on the occasion of the centennial celebration of the building.
