The present Lodge Hall in Lethbridge is situated at 315A - 10 Street South. Four Craft Lodges and nine Concordant Masonic bodies use the facilities.

The building was built in 1912 by the 'Sons of England' It was used as a Cinema and dance hall. In 1920 the Sons of England sold the building to the Masonic Lodges in Lethbridge. In order to purchase the building the Lodges formed a Masonic Hall Co., and issued one thousand shares at $25.00 per share. Members were permitted to purchase these shares with $5.00 down and the remainder on a monthly payment if desired of $1.00, and many were sold in this manner.

Beginning in 1981, the Masonic Hall Co., decided to commence a major upgrade of the facilities. As usual it was necessary to curb expenses, therefore most of the work was done by the brethren on a voluntary basis. There are two floors plus a full basement (the latter in terrible condition), and the work was completed by 1991. The brethren now have lodge facilities in which they can well be proud of. In the past number of years the Hall Co., has operated in the black.

The Masonic Hall Co., have been quite fortunate to have two tenants on the ground floor which goes a long way towards paying the expense of the upkeep.
