About Our Masonic Center

The Masonic Center in historic downtown Port Huron was built in 1902 as a central meeting place for the Port Huron Lodge, the Pine Grove Lodge, the Huron Chapter of the Royal Arch Masons and the Port Huron Commandery Knights Templar. Currently Port Huron Lodge #58, the Royal Arch, the Commandery Knights Templar and the Order of DeMolay for boys use the Center for meetings and events.

Below are photos of the Masonic Center prior to 1929 including the original Men’s Club and a photo of the Center present day.
