C, D, & J. HAYDEN MASONIC TEMPLE 299 West Jefferson C, D, & J. HAYDEN MASONIC TEMPLE 299 West Jefferson Avenue, Hayden The Hayden Masonic Temple, a familiar landmark in Hayden, is not square with the street, but it is ‘square with the world’, in accordance with the Masonic Order’s association with the four compass points. Many early settlers to the area were Masons who initially had to travel by horseback or horse and buggy to the Masonic lodges in Steamboat Springs, Yampa, or Craig, which necessitated an overnight stay. The Hayden Valley Lodge #126 first met in Hayden in May, 1907, in a room rented from the Odd Fellows. In the midst of the Depression, funds were scarce, but Dr. W. W. Sloan donated two lots to the Masons, and plans for a temple in Hayden began in 1934. Much of the labor to build the modest one-and-a-half story, front-gabled, Craftsman-style, rectangular temple was volunteer; the bricks came from a razed Steamboat Springs mill. At the first meeting in the Hayden Masonic Temple, held on February 25, 1935 and registering 98 members, life-long membership was bestowed on Dr. Sloan, whose one request was that the Lodge organize and sponsor a DeMolay chapter. The Masonic Temple has served as a community gathering place since its completion: it has been the meeting place for the Masons, a chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star, the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls, and DeMolay, and has hosted community New Year’s dances, smorgasbord dinners, and box socials. Although the Rainbow Girls and DeMolay chapters have ceased to exist, the Masons and Eastern Star members continue to use the building for which it was constructed, and members of the community continue to congregate there for social gatherings. .

The Architecture of Joseph Michael Gandy (1771-1843) and Sir John Soane (1753-1837): An Exploration Into the Masonic and Occult Imagination of the Late Enlightenment Abstract In examining select works of English architects Joseph Michael Gandy and Sir John Soane, this dissertation is intended to bring to light several important parallels between architectural theory and freemasonry during the late Enlightenment. Both architects developed architectural theories regarding the universal origins of architecture in an attempt to establish order as well as transcend the emerging historicism of the early nineteenth century. There are strong parallels between Soane's use of architectural narrative and his discussion of architectural 'model' in relation to Gandy's understanding of 'trans-historical' architecture. The primary textual sources discussed in this thesis include Soane's Lectures on Architecture, delivered at the Royal Academy from 1809 to 1836, and Gandy's unpublished treatise entitled the Art, Philosophy, and Science of Architecture, circa 1826.

  • 1 Answers to Commonly Asked Questions on Freemasonry
    Answers to commonly asked questions on Freemasonry Hiram Abif--is the story true? When did he live? If by true is meant "factual", the answer is no. If by "true" is meant "containing a great truth" then the answer is yes; it is true as is the story of Santa Claus which tells a truth to children in words they can understand. The Legend of Hiram as told in the Master Mason degree is one of the oldest legends in the world but Freemasonry's legend is peculiarly her own. The three who encountered Hiram at the gates of the Temple are themselves symbols of error, evil, and sin; and the story as a whole is of the ultimate weakness of such forces against the power of the Great Architect. The word Abif is translated both "his father" and "my father" with "father" used in these senses as a patriarch, a teacher, a source of wisdom, and not as the actual father of a family. "Hiram, my father" is thus a title of honor and respect. (See Quest Book No. 5) [Some say that "avihu," meaning "my father is he," and rendered in Masonic usage as Abif or Abiff, was the Hebrew equivalent of "jr.," meaning that "Hiram Abif" was the son of a man also named Hiram.] When did Santa Claus start to manufacture Christmas toys? Myth and legend are alike silent on early Masonic dates. As the Temple was begun by Solomon in the fourth year of his reign, legend, if there was such, would have to place the death later.
