Bexley, Masonic Lodge

The former Masonic Lodge is located along Forest Road, in the southern suburb of Bexley. It was built in 1923 and is used as a community hall these days.

  1. Interesting architecture, as can always be expected with these places. The only one of them I can think of here is way out in the west end.

  9. I can think of at least one lodge/temple in downtown Toronto that has been a concert hall before it was bought by a media conglomerate. I must get a photo of it.

    1. Yes, Bill. I'm not a fan of the signs either. I think when you have too many, people would pay less attention.
