Nezv Temple One
OF Finest Buildings
OF Type In Ohio

he new temple IS being used for
the first time for degree work just
four years from the time the old Ma
sonic hall was destroyed by fire, the
construction Of the temple represent
ing the dreams of Masons of London
and vicinity over a period of almost a
century of time. .
Masonry had its birth in London
back in 1845 and since that time, it
has been the hope of every member of
Chandler Lodge that some day, fine
temple might be built to house the va
rious Masonic bodies and to add an
other building unit to the Masonic fra
teraity in this country.
Today, the dream has been realized
and the new temple represents far
more than brick, stone and wood, it
stands for progress and for the bet
terment of this community in every
line of endeavor, and is a memorial to
all who have had part in its build
ing.
The. first spade-full of earth in the
excavation for the new temple was re-
moved on May 8, 1882, and the corner
stone laying ceremony was held on
July 10 in the presence Of many high
officers Of the Masonic lodge in Ohio
and thousands Of persons from all
parts of the state.
The new temple is fine combina-
ton of a new main building and an old
London homestead, the front portion
Of the temple having been remodeled
from the old Minshall home which was
sold to the Masonic lodge by DR.. ]. C.
Hunt, member of Chandler Lodge,
who now resides in Oregon.
The plans for the entire structure
were drawn by Mr.. Gpons, member
of the temple trustees and member
of the London Lumber & Coal company
and every portion of the work has been
personally supervised by this untiring
worker in the lodge and in every other
community enterprise.
The new portion of the temple is az
by 1916 feet, three stories high, con
sisting of basement, dining room

pared only rough sketches Of the pro-
posed building, with details to be COM
pleted in conferences with the school
