Remembering Athens Masonic Temple Cornerstone Removal
A small group witnessed the removal of the 1200 pound cornerstone from the former Masonic Temple in Athens. The June 24 1910 dedication, Gen. Charles H Grosvenor's address, and a grand parade are recalled as Athens Masons plan to relocate the stone to a shop for relettering and consider placing it in the new temple.
