Duke of Leinster Lodge #363 first met on Tuesday 4 March 1856 under Warrant dated 7 November 1855 from the Grand Lodge of Ireland and signed by the MW Grand Master, the 3rd Duke of Leinster.
The first meeting was held at Robert Ramsay's Napoleon Bonaparte Hotel in King William Street, Adelaide. The Lodge met at the Freemasons Tavern in Pirie Street for 10 years from 1857, and in 1867 moved to purpose built Masonic accommodation at the Alfred Masonic Hall in Waymouth Street. The Lodge continued at the Alfred Masonic Hall until 1970, then met at Edwardstown 1970 - 2002, finally moving to Illingworth Masonic Hall in Goodwood.
Alone of all the Irish Constitution lodges, Duke of Leinster Lodge retained its allegiance to the Grand Lodge of Ireland on the formation of the new Grand Lodge of South Australia in 1884.
The Lodge celebrated 150 years of working in March 2006.
