DescriptionPlaque text:
The first Masonic Hall in Ipswich located on the corner of Brisbane and Thorn Streets opened in 1863. The first meeting in the hall was on 9 March 1864 and the last meeting was on 23 June 1868. From this time up until 1875 when a permanent home was constructed for the lodges, meetings were held at various places including Tattersall's Hotel, the Wintergarden Theatre and the National Bank.
The foundation stone for a new hall on the corner of Nicholas and Roderick Streets was laid on 3 November 1875. By 1927, the hall was no longer adequate for the lodges and a new hall was planned for the land beside the second hall. The foundation stone of the third hall was laid by Charles Stumm on 18 August 1928. Designed by Henry Wyman and constructed by Bro J. Hoare, this building wad dedicated on 8 December 1928.
