Actually, their first lodge building was a small one room wood frame building in which they met from February 1926 to October 1928. Lodge #272 received its Charter at Grand Lodge on June 16, 1926, with a membership of 31 charter members. When that building became too small they built the present building about 2 blocks southeast of the old one. This one, much more substantial in both structure and volume, takes the lodge into their 87th year of existence this year, 2013.
