Secretary of the Building Committee,
Bro. John Payne, has supplied us
with the following description of the
building:
"Fidelity Lodge, No. 55, was insti-
tuted on the; 8th of 1VTarch, 1870, and
up to the present time its progress
has been „.,marked and raid in egery
respect. With our, increased iuember-
ship we fougd that our old `hall was
inadequate to our Wants, and far from
being up to the mark. Having consid-
erable funds on hand and invested, it
was suggested that we should secure
as Spon =as possible a suitable lot for
building purposes. During the sum-
mer of '72, the lot whereon our clew
building now stands; was put into the
market; and at once secured for us
at a cost of $562.50, for 100x30 feet.
It is situated on the corner of Main
and Gouinlock Streets, and in the
centre of the business portion of the
town. Having secured the lot, some
of the Brothers being of an ambitious
and speculative turn of mind, thought
it folly for us to allow it to remain
idle; and after some financiering, and
considerable debating, as to the prac-
tability of our building, a committee
was appointed to report on the
scheme. We found that, with the
funds on hand, and what could he
raised by issuing debentures of $20
each, bearing interest at 8 per cent,
to be taken up by metnbers of our
Lodge, (a sufficient quantity of which
was at once subscribed for) in a few
years we would be able to wipe out
all our indebtedness, and have a.
building creditable to the Order and;
if possible an ornament to the town.
"Plans and specifications were
drawn up by Mr. Adam Gray, .Builder
and Architect, under the supervision
of a building committee, selected for
the purpose of takin,,g full control and
management. Tenders were at once,

ception in Town
Hall.
The Basad Licata Club held their
regular dinner meeting on Wednes-
day evening at the Little Inn. The
meeting was well attended, there be-
ing 28 present to answer the roll call.
After a very enjoyable, dinner, a
short bines session was held with
reports from some of the committee
chairmen.
President Inion George Castle, who
now resides in Goderich, was present
and remarked • at the enthusiasm of
the members of the chubthe work
that has been uiderta,$eny the dif-
ferent commiftees. The outdoor rink
has been levelled and the water pip-
ed from the well to the site of the
advertised for; and that of Mr. Jas.
Walsh was accepted for the atm of.
$5,600, for the full completion of said
building. The building is 80 by '30
feet, and two stories high, -cellar full
size, and roofed three-quarter style,,
with fire wall extendin ' the full
length of the south side,i, is built
of white brick with plllasters which
project four inches from the face of
wall and sunk two inches in the een-
tre, moulded and cut capital, with a
plinth course with bevelled top run-
ning the full length. The windows
are circular top and set on cut stone
silts. The first story is fitted as a
store 74x27, feet to which we have
added a frame warehouse 30x14 feet,
at a ;cost of $100. It forms one of
the best and most commodious stores
in the county, and is occupied by
Messrs. Logan & Jamieson ut $450
per annum rent.
"Our Hall on the secoiad floor is
easily accessible by a stairway at the
east end of the building, and consists
of Lodge room, inner and outer ante-
rooms and Encampment room. The
Lodge room is 55x27 feet,'with 15 feet
ceiling, which is set off with a cornice
and a moulding which runs about four
feet from the walls, and forms a semi-
circle over the chairs of the N. G.,
V.G., P.G. and Chaplain. The centre
is ornamented by two centerpieces
from which are suspended our chan-
deliers. We have had the hall thor-
oughly fitted up at a cost of $785,
and now it presents an appearance
which far • excels our moat sanguine
expectations.
"On Monday, 8th February, it was
open to the public from 9 a.m. till 9
p.m., and was thronged with visitors
both from: town and country, all of
whom expressed great admiration.
Our regular meetings are held on
Wednesday, and we shall be pleased
to welcome any of our brethren in the
Order who may find it convenient to
call on us."
On Thursday evening, the 18th Feb-
ruary, Bro. John Gibson, Grand Patri-
arch, assisted by P.G.P. Chas. Paeck-
ert as G.S., P.C.P. Thomas Henderson,
as G.H.P., P.C.P. John Humphrey as
G.S.W., P.C.P. John Welsl}.,,., s G.J.W.,
Pat A. Campbell, as Senttiiel• Patri-
archs Alex, Scrimgeour and John Peth-
ick, instituted Seaforth Encampment
No. 27, in the Town of Seaforth,
County of Huron. The charter mem-
bers were Patriarchs John Campbell,
George Thexton, James Beattie, H
Taylor, A. G. McDougall, T. K: An-
derson and John Williams.
The officers installed were as fol-
lows: John Campbell, C.P.; H. Tay-
lor, H.P.• A. G. McDougall, S.W.;

tie, Treasurer; T. K. Anderson, J.W.;

Guide; R. Logan, 1st W.; Chris. Arm-
strong,. and W.; James Halt, 3rd W.;
John Wilson, 4th W.; Alex Davidson.
lst G.T.; James Kling, 2nd G.T. Ten
candidates were proposed and initiat-
ed and advanced, and nine exalted.
After the ceremonies were closed the
visiting Patriarchs were entertained
to an oyster slipper in the Commercial
Hotel, of which our friend, Davidson,
is mine host."
During the intervening years frodm
1870 to 1947, the Lodge has kept pace
with the work for• which it was in-
tended, Dr. Harburn commented:. The
large store on the ground floor has
given accommodation to other busi-
ness concerns besides the Logan &
Jamieson firm,-, who were the first
occupants.. Knechtel & McKenzie,
furniture dealers; Charles Layton,
implements S. T. Holmes, undertak-
er; G.W.V.A. Assembly Hall, and Can-
adian Militia have also occupied the
premises. George D. Ferguson, hard-
ware, is the present tenant.
The Lodge Hall has been twice dec-
orated. About 40 years ago five beau-
tiful oil paintings, six feet by 10 feet,
were painted on the walls by John
G. Crich, a local artist at that time.
John A. Stewart was the first D.D.
G.M. to represent the Grand Master
from the Lodge, others following be-
ing Harry R. Scott, Foster Harburn,
Ed. Mole, Malcolm McKellar and John
Thompson.
