The danger of fire was an ever-present menace, and in 1886 the lodge again changed its place of meeting, this time to the Y.M.C.A.
building on South Warren Street. These rooms, too, were soon outgrown, and in 1896 much larger accommodations were obtained
in the Greyhound Building at the corner of James and North Warren Streets. These rooms were dedicated on 4 Apr 1897 by M.’.W.’.
William A. Sutherland, then Grand Master. The elevator service at this new building made access much more convenient. On the
night of the dedication of the rooms in the Greyhound Building, Syracuse Lodge celebrated the reception of its 501st member. The
ceremonies of that evening were most impressive and concluded with a reception and banquet in Empire Hall.
Empire House, in which was the Empire Hall;
presently the site of the Herald Building on Clinton Square.
9 Jun 1910 the Lodge celebrated its 50th Anniversary with a banquet at the New York State Armory. Some 700 Masons were in
attendance. Fifty children from the Masonic Home at Utica were present and took part in the ceremonies.
The Lodge continued to beet in the Greyhound Building until the completion of the Syracuse Masonic Temple on Montgomery
Street; its first meeting there was on 4 Jan 1917.

Daniel Ackerman Lodge No. 424; Grand Lodge No. 174893; Raised 21 Jul 1875, was born on 4 Dec
1851 in Frankenstein in the Rheinpfalz (Rhenish Bavaria). In October 1855 he emigrated with his parents to
America, coming directly to Syracuse. Educated in the public schools until the age of 13, he then received
business training in accounting--bookkeeping, etc.--and became the accountant for the wholesale grocery
firm of C. E. Crouse & Company. Working continually for this current employer from 1871 to 1884, he was
then made a partner in the business, which ranked among the most important in our city and whose
blossoming is owed primarily to his untiring efforts. In addition, Mr. Ackerman was one of the directors of
Bartels' Brewery and was married to Bertha C. Soldan, daughter of the deceased Pastor Soldan; they had
two children, of which one was a daughter. He resided at 206 Park Avenue and died on 8 Aug 1905.
