Flashback Friday: Grand Lodge of Freemasons

The South Australian Grand Lodge was the first to be established in Australia and was formed before the colony was settled, however it was not until much later that this building was constructed.

The land for the lodge was purchased in 1922 and the construction work occurred between 1925-1927. The architects were John Quinton Bruce and William Haigh Harral, a Freemason, who personally oversaw the work.

Originally the building was intended to be constructed from cut stone and granite, but due to costs reinforced concrete was used.

The building houses offices, meeting rooms, three lodge rooms, kitchens, reception rooms and banqueting rooms, a large hall at the rear (the 'Great Hall'), the Adelaide Masonic Centre Museum and the Masonic Library.

The main entrance is flanked by four columns and above the entrance are the words 'Audi Vide Tace' from the Latin proverb 'Audi, Vide, Tace, si vis vivere in pace' (Hear, see, be silent, if you would live in peace). This was the motto of the Grand Lodge until the 1950s.

Research shows that the most common way Masons are introduced to the fraternity is through another Mason—often a parent, grandparent, friends, or colleagues. ⁠
⁠
From now until May 14, we're inviting all members to post a short message, or video, on social media saying why Freemasonry is important to them and to include the hashtag in the caption. Together, we'll let the world know: I'm a Mason!⁠
