HISTORY
FROM HISTORICAL SKETCH OF UNION LODGE, JUNE 1921
From Proceedings, Page 1921-229:
Next west of the Pacific Bank, then the residence of Esquire Hammett, was a lot which was purchased from Wm. Roteh in March, 1802. Here they built a commodious building, now standing on the same lot, the corner-stone of which with "inscription as called for," was laid with appropriate Masonic ceremonies June 24, 1802.
Three years and a half later the Lodge voted that the "corner-stone be removed out into full view." Then followed prosperous days for the Masonic fraternity. Here Union Lodge grew and waxed strong; here met Urbanity Lodge, in sport called the "silk stocking Lodge," from 1822 to 1830.
