Rainier #3: Masonic Hall

220 C Street East

Masonic Hall in Rainier, Oregon on September 5, 2005
Masonic Hall on September 5, 2005.

Rainier Masonic Lodge #24 A.F. & A.M. (A.F. & A.M. stands for Ancient Free and Accepted Masons) received its charter on July 16, 1858. George F. Moeck was a founding member. The lodge building was built in 1894. Until recently, it was also the home of the Rainier Senior Center. (Note: The website of the Oregon Free Masons lists the address of the Rainier Lodge as 22 East C Street, but this address is wrong. There are no 2 digit addresses on the lettered streets in Rainer. The lodge is in the 200 block of C Street East. I didn't notice an address on the lodge building, but considering the lodge's location, 220 has to be close.)
