PB6-064 Description
Photo of Great Hall set up for large meeting with carved chairs on platform. Reportedly for a Masonic Lodge meeting which happened in the Great Hall every March 1955-1959.
"During the period of location insecurity, from March 1, 1955 through and including December 1, 1959, The Tyrian Lodge met at the East Gloucester Quarters of our fellow Masonic Lodge, Acacia Lodge, with these exceptions: By the courtesy of the late John Hays Hammond, the Anniversaries of The Tyrian Lodge held, respectively, on March 1, 1955, March 6, 1956,March 5, 1957 and March 4, 1958, also the Semi-Public Installations on January 7, 1958 and January 6, 1959, were held in the Great Hall of the Hammond Castle Museum on Hesperus Avenue, and at the first of these Anniversaries, in 1955, it was a distinct thrill which I vividly remember, standing on that very high raised dais, and reading a historic paper in commemoration of the 185th Anniversary of the Lodge."
