The minutes of the Lodge record the regular payment of rent on the Manly Lodge Room until November of 1875, when some trouble developed in paradise, culminating in an entry in the minutes on 25 Dec 1876, when "a committee of three was appointed to confer with [Bro.] M[oses] Latimore in relation to Renting his room." 3. 11 Mar 1878 to Late 1889: "Lodge met in the Manly Block and adjourned to the Latimore Block." The rental amount for the new Lodge room was $50 per year. On 1 Feb 1886, Past Master Chillingworth moved that "two weeks from tonight the Lodge take a vote as to whether we remain in our present quarters or not. Carried. The Trustees, meanwhile, to confer with M. Latimore and Bro. Hand in regard to their respective Halls." The 'Latimore Block' or Building was later the Crowe Letter Service Building on First Street, minus the third floor, and is presently owned by the LaVallee’s Karate Sudio. 4. Late 1889 to Late 1907: The Masonic Hall was returned to the Manly Building, except that it was now owned by Br. Thomas Hand (and later by Mrs. Gertrude Gale). The minutes of 9 Sep 1889, reflect that the motion to move was carried and a draft for $20 rent was drawn. 5. ca 20 Aug 1906 to Sep 1918: On June 4th the Lodge received a communication from Mrs. Gale raising the rent from July 1st to $75 [per year]. After a procedural error, the then Master, W.’. Luther L. Weller, found it necessary on July 30th to write a lengthy letter to the Brethren, to be spread upon the Minutes, which reads in small part . . . "This Lodge at its last regular communication, the members having been summoned therefore, voted to remove its place of meeting from the building owned by Mrs. Gertrude Gale [the Manly or Hand Block], a part of which this Lodge had occupied for a number of years, to the building owned by William Gleason and the Gleason estate (later by the Orths). This meeting was the last one to be held in the Gale building prior to the expiration of the tenancy, and it was necessary that the next regular communication of the Lodge, August 20th, should be held in the new Lodge rooms. Notwithstanding this fact the Lodge closed its meeting without any provisions being made for affecting the transfer of the Lodge from one building to the other. . . . Who had the power and authority to make the transfer?" . . . This building is located at the southeast corner of Tulip and First Streets, where once stood Bro. Gleason’s store. 6. 7 Sep 1918 to present 1995: The present Liverpool Temple lot, at 608 Oswego Street, was purchased on 16 Dec 1916, for $800. The financing of the new Temple was accomplished by the sale of stock. The cornerstone was laid on 11 Nov 1917 and was dedicated on 6 Aug 1918, by M.’.W.’. William S. Farmer, Grand Master. In more recent times it has seen renovations in the kitchen, the main Lodge room and foyer and most recently in the Fellowcraft room, with new lighting, chairs and pool table, round tables, a VCR and a new television. The O.E.S. has assisted financially throughout the Temple's history, most recently with a beautiful new set of Stickley furniture and a display case for the upstairs foyer area.
