ANATOMY OF A LODGE ROOM

by Bro. Ed Greenberg

Many people, on their first visit to a Masonic Temple, are surprised and confused about the trappings and regalia found therein. This page takes you inside a very beautiful and antique Masonic Lodgeroom and shows you the various parts and their uses. All the information found here is taken from publicly available printed material. (Not bad for a secret society, huh?) The Lodgeroom shown is Volcano Lodge in Volcano, California.

Masonic Lodgerooms are oblong, and typically are oriented to the east and west. Even if the room must be oriented in another direction, the "front" of the Lodgeroom is always symbolically the East, and the back, where the doors are located, is considered the West.

The photo below is looking to the East. Click on the red squares to see the descriptions of the various parts of the Lodge.

Below is the West view of the Lodge.
