Steeped in history — and mystery — Guelph’s first Masonic Lodge was established in 1849, occupying space on Wyndham Street for decades. The “new” Guelph Masonic Centre has been home to local Masons and their long-standing traditions since 1914. Nestled between Quebec Street and Chapel Lane, this building had a $1 million renovation in 2000, modernizing it while retaining original limestone walls.
