A Brief History of Park Hill Lodge
For some years prior to the organization of Park Hill Lodge, the section of Denver known as Park Hill had been one of the most attractive, newest, and rapidly expanding residential areas in the city. The new residents began to share mutual interests as homeowners and as Masons. On August 5, 1915, a meeting was held at the Montview Boulevard Presbyterian Church, and before it adjourned, a motion had been put and carried that a Masonic lodge be established in Park Hill. The lodge received its charter from the Grand Lodge of Colorado on September 19, 1916.
The lodge’s early history is documented in Centennial Celebration 1861–1961, published by the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Colorado. It is worth noting that the lodge issued a formal resolution thanking Montview Boulevard Presbyterian Church for its hospitality — recorded at the lodge’s last stated communication held at the church, November 19, 1925.
