EVENTS
HALL DEDICATION, DECEMBER 1873
From New England Freemason, Vol. I, No. 1, January 1874, Page 54:
The New Masonic Hall of Webster Lodge was dedicated to Masonic purposes on the twelfth instant by Grand Master Nickerson, assisted by the officers of the Grand Lodge. This new hall will afford the Brethren of this Lodge better facilities for the practice of our rites than the old one destroyed by fire; and they have shown a commendable zeal and enterprise in fitting and furnishing their neat and well-arranged apartments.
The newly-elected officers of the Lodge were installed the same evening, in Ample Form, at the Methodist Church, which was filled, even to crowding, by the Brethren and their invited guests.
