Freemasons' Hall, Masonic center in Madison Square, Savannah, United States.
Freemasons' Hall is a five-story structure at 341 Bull Street featuring early 20th-century design with carefully crafted stonework and ornamental details across its exterior. The architectural elements create a solid and thoughtfully designed structure that stands out from surrounding buildings.
Architect Hyman Witcover designed the building in 1913 following his work on Savannah City Hall, with construction completed in 1923. This project reflected a long tradition of Masonic gathering spaces in the city dating back to the early colonial period.
The building serves as a meeting place for multiple Scottish Rite bodies that gather for ceremonies and fraternal activities. These groups have been woven into Savannah's social fabric for generations.
The Savannah College of Art and Design acquired the building in 2019 and now operates Gryphon, a tea room open to visitors within the structure. You can explore the interior of the historic building and see its spaces while enjoying refreshments.
Solomon's Lodge was established in 1734 and remains the oldest continuously operating English-constituted Masonic lodge in the Western Hemisphere. This remarkable longevity makes it one of the city's most enduring institutions.
