Richmond Masonry Temple Plans and Odd Fellows Review
A late 19th century article details the Old Dominion’s grand temple for the Masons and Knights, describing a five story structure on Broad Street with granite and brown stone, a large stair hall, banquet rooms, and a royal arch chapter. It also covers the Grand Lodge of Virginia sessions, construction costs estimated at 100000 dollars, and an architectural sketch of the temple. It includes society notes on the Ancient Order of United Workmen, Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, and other fraternal orders with membership figures and historical context.
