The Lodge building, which is still in use, was erected during 1914 at a cost of $3,180 — of which $1,060 was for furniture and $150 for lot and legal fees. The Lodge was heated by a wood burning stove and lit by oil lamps for many years as electricity was not installed until 1928 (at a cost of $136), and the installation of an oil furnace waited until 1964. The electrical service was replaced and the building rewired in 1964. When the Metcalfe Street Temple was razed to the ground in 1975, almost two years before the new facility at 2140 Walkley Road was to become available, various Lodges were required to seek a temporary home at Hazeldean: Dalhousie No. 52, Civil Service No. 148, Sidney Albert Luke No. 558, and St. Andrew’s No. 560.
