Located in the centre of Falkirk, Lodge
Callendar 588 is just off the High Street - the main shopping
precinct. It is 5 minutes walk from Grahamston Station. Buses
are very regular into Newmarket Street - 2 minutes walk.
The Lodge Building is a purpose built Masonic
Temple which was completed in 1906 over 100 years ago. In this
regard it is quite a unique edifice in it's own right with
particularly distinctive masonic elements in the architecture.
Elements which are appropriate to purpose and particularly
significant to Freemasons
The Lint Riggs is home
to a number of fine sandstone buildings.
The Masonic Temple on
the south-east side is undoubtedly the most architecturally
significant with its classical Corinthian style of architecture
and a fine inscribed door entrance complete with balustrade.
The internal decoration and furnishings are
very interesting. Most notable are the outstanding five painted
windows each represents a Principal Office Bearer namely - The
Right Worshipful Master in the centre flanked on either side by
the Worshipful Senior and Junior Wardens. The two Wardens are
flanked on their other side by windows representing the Senior
and Junior Deacons.
Depicted on each window are the symbols and
paraphernalia which pertain to each of those Offices.
All in all this is an exceptional masonic
lodge building. Every man who becomes a member of the Craft
within these walls can and does feel rightly proud to be a
small part of ideals mapped out for the future by our
forebears. Foresight determination and vision saw their dream
of building and owning a superb home for the Lodge become
reality.
