The Grand Lodge of Indiana is perhaps the
wealthiest grand body In the United States, the
property on the corner Of Pennsylvania being
posed of Robert Dale Owen. Oliver P. Morton,
Kabius NJ. Finch, william Robson and Lewis
Maddux, were elected by the Grand Lodge to
purchase a lot and erect o building for lodge pur-
was westward, and L was 'u with some ns diff dific nit
that Robert Dale owen, the chairman, succeeded
in convincing the balance OF the committee that
location than west of that street, and that time
would show the wisdom of such selection. Sixty
eight feet on Washington street. running back to
Court street, then a forty-foot alley, on Penn
sylvania, was purchased for ST. 1000. A build
ing, designed by Costigan, was contracted for at
a cost of $39, 600, and the work at once COM
menced under the supervision Of the COM
mittee, which was finished in 1856 at q
cost of $63, 900, including lot. The building was
May p, 1866, by John b. Anderson, grand
master. OF the original committee all have
passed away, except Fabius NJ. Finch, who is
still living in this city, although not now a mem
Der of the order. That the committe builded
wisely has been long since demonstrated. as the
liable business corners in the city, and has moro
than doubled in value since its purchase, the
rental of the building paying 10 per cent: on the
nance. The stockii is fall now owned within the
order, the Grand Lodge holding $4,000: the
Grand Encampment $i.45O, and subordinate
lodges and camps the balance.
