History

Golden City Lodge met in several places during its history. It is reported that the first meeting was in a log cabin on Ford Street, and at a later date in the old Overland Hotel on Washington Ave. Later, a building was erected by W. A. H. Loveland, who owned the ground floor with the lodge owning and meeting on the second floor. After several years the lodge sold their interest in the building to Loveland but leased the hall for a meeting place. Next they met in a hall over the Linder Building and finally in the I.O.O.F hall over the Kelly Building on the West side of Washington Ave., directly across the street from the original hall in the Loveland Building. In 1950 the corner stone of the current temple building was laid at 400 10th St. and the Lodge started meeting there in 1951. More information about the Lodge's meeting places can be found in our Masonic Heritage pamphlet.
