The first hall rises at the corner
1916
In September 1916 a charter was filed for the Reagan Lodge Masonic Building Association, with C. I. Voss, Helms, and A. C. Bernard among the incorporators. A two-story frame hall rose at Eleventh and Harvard, the lodge’s first home on the corner it would occupy for the next half century.
The first recorded event in the new hall was a New Year’s Eve watch party seeing in 1917, with a full cast of Heights names in attendance.
