By this time there were three Masonic Lodges in Decatur. Construction began in 1927, the cornerstone laying was in 1928 and the official Dedication was in February of 1929. The Decatur Masonic temple is a beautiful 68,000 sq. ft. art deco building and has three lodge rooms, many Lounges, 2 dining rooms, commercial kitchen and beautiful auditorium. A.E.
