Palestine Lodge No. 204, New York City Warrant: The warrant under which the Lodge is working is dated 27 Dec 1850. The name has never been changed. It was No. 14 on the register of St. John's Grand Lodge. Minutes: Not intact. All records from 1850 to 1855 are missing. Palestine Lodge was organized by members of Independent Lodge, No.7 (now No. 185), during the summer of 1850. A petition was prepared and sent to St. John's Grand Lodge on September 3, 1850. The records of that Grand Body state that: "A Warrant was granted to establish Palestine Lodge, of which William Hanigan should be the first Master." The other officers named in the warrant were: John W. Jackson, Senior Warden John W. Farmer, Junior Warden. The first applicant for degrees was H. W. Phillips, who was also the first candidate Initiated. The Lodge remained under the jurisdiction of St. John's Grand Lodge until 27 Dec 1850, when it surrendered its warrant and obtained its present warrant from the Grand Lodge of the State of New York. It received its present warrant at the great Union meeting in TripIer Hall amid scenes which "baffled description," and became No. 204 on the register of the Grand Lodge of the State of New York. The warrant named as officers: William Harrigan, Master. John W. Jackson, SW Samuel J. Browning JW. The absence of the records of the Lodge shrouds its early life in the mist of uncertainty, but in common with the experiences of other Lodges it has had its days of adversity and its period of prosperity and has enjoyed an unbroken existence since its organization in 1850. It took an active interest in and was largely instrumental in securing funds toward the erection1 of the Masonic Hall on Twenty-third Street. The first meeting place of the Lodge was at No. 51 Division Street, where it remained until 1855, when it moved to No, 207 Bowery, remaining here until 1864, when it moved to No. 594 Broadway. On 4 May 1865, it moved to the corner of Broome and Crosby Streets, where it remained one year, when it again moved, this time to No. 300 :mast Broadway, remaining here one year, when it moved to the corner of Third Avenue and Seventh Street, where it remained until 1889, when it moved to the corner of Third Avenue and Sixtieth Street, remaining there two years, when it moved into the Masonic Hall on Twenty-third Street.

Empire City Lodge No. 206, New York City Warrant: The warrant in possession of the Lodge is dated 27 Dec 1850. Name and Number: The first name was Shibboleth and the first number was 25. Minutes: Intact The Lodge was organized in the autumn of 1850; a dispensation was obtained from M.’.W.’. Henry C. Atwood, Grand Master of St. John’s Grand Lodge, and the name selected for the Lodge was Shibboleth. The first meeting was held 14 Oct 1850, with the following as officers: John D. Moriarty, Master Wade B. Worrall, SW Robert J. Reed, JW William H. Arthur Treasurer Scarcely had the Lodge become organized when, for some unexplained reason the name was changed to Empire City. The Lodge continued to work under dispensation until the latter part of November, when a petition was presented to St. John’s Grand Lodge setting forth that the Lodge had been working for some time under the dispensation issued by the Grand Master and asked that a warrant be granted, as it desired to continue its organization under the authority of the St. John’s Grand Lodge. On 8 Dec 1850 a warrant was granted and it became Empire City No. 25 on the register of St. John’s Grand Lodge. This warrant remained in force less than one month, as at the great Union meeting of 27 Dec 1850, it was surrendered. The Lodge received its present warrant and became No. 206 on the register of the Grand Lodge of the State of New York. The new warrant named as officers: Wade B. Worrall, Master Robert J. Reed, SW William H. Arthur, JW

United States Lodge No. 207, New York City Warrant: The warrant in possession of the Lodge is dated 27 Dec 1850. Name and Numbers: The name has never been changed. It was No. 26 under the jurisdiction of the St. John’s Grand Lodge. Minutes: Not intact. All records previous to 20 Dec 1886 are missing. United States Lodge was organized in 1849 and worked for a time under a dispensation granted by Henry C. Atwood, Grand Master of St. John’s Grand Lodge. On 3 Dec 1850 it received a warrant from that Grand Body and was the last Lodge to receive a warrant previous to that Grand Lodge being absorbed by the Grand Lodge of the State of New York. it received its present warrant at the Great “Union” meeting held in Tripler’s Hall 27 Dec 1850, 24 days after it had received its first warrant. Charter Members Baldwin, Joseph W. Cooper, William Donaldson, Joseph Galbraith, John Post, Charles F. Shaw, Henry Wain, John Williamson, George Witten, John
The officers names in both warrants were: John Galbraith, Master John Witten, SW Joseph W. Baldwin, JW Meeting Places: The loss of the early records of the Lodge is to be regretted, as this, together with the meager information to be obtained from the records of the Grand Lodge, clouds its early history to such an extent that but little is known of its life and work during a period of over 30 years. There are no existing records which furnish any light upon its organization, neither is in known where it held its meetings for several years after it came into existence. For a time during the fifties its meeting place was in the Odd Fellows’ Hall, corner of Grand and Centre Streets. In 1866 it had its quarters in the same building. In 1874 it was located at No. 117 West 23rd Street. The next year it moved into the Clinton Room in Masonic Hall, on 23rd Street, where it remained until 1886, when it moved to the corner of Sixth and 25th Street, remaining there until Jul 1888, when it moved into rooms over the Harlem Savings Bank, corner of Third Avenue and 124th Street. This move appears to have marked an epoch in the growth and prosperity of the Lodge. For several years previous to this move the Lodge had languished, its attendance was small, caused by the removal of its members “up town.” Therefore this move to a section of the city which at the time was rapidly increasing in population was determined upon. This change in location proved wise and resulted in bringing more activity and strength to the Lodge. In 1888 it had but 56 members upon its rolls; in 1889 it reported a membership of 82, and added strength and prosperity had attended it ever since its removal to Harlem. On 1 May 1880 it again moved, this time to Third Avenue and 106th Street, remaining there until 5 Mar 1890, when it returned to its old quarters over the Harlem Savings Bank. It Feb 1908 it moved into the Horton Building, No. 110 East 125th Street, remaining here until 5 May 1909, when it moved to its present quarters in the Harlem Masonic Temple, on the corner of Lenox Avenue and 126th Street. The Lodge was present at the laying of the cornerstone of the Home at Utica, NY, 21 May 1891. R.’.W.’. Henry D. Hamilton, Past DDGM, has been an active and prominent member of the Lodge since 1889. He was Grand High Priest of the Grand Chapter, RAM, of the State of New York in 1905 and is General Grand Master of the First Veil in the Genreal Grand Chapter, RAM, of the United States. He is a veteran of the Spanish-American War, serving as Major in the 201st NY Volunteers. Masters

Cyrus Lodge No. 208, New York City Warrant: The warrant in possession of the Lodge is date 4 Mar 1851. Name and Number: The first name was Atwood. The name was changed to Cyrus 30 Jan 1854. The number has never been changed. Minutes: Not intact. All records previous to 1857 are lost. Atwood Lodge, as it was originally called, was organized in 1850 under a dispensation issued by Henry C. Atwood, Grand Master of St. John’s Grand Lodge, after whom it was named. It continued to work under the jurisdiction of the St. John’s Grand Lodge until the great Union meeting of 27 Dec 1850, when, in common with all the Lodges working under the authority of the St. John’s Grand Lodge, it united with and became a Lodge under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of the State of New York, but still working under dispensation. On 4 Mar 1851 a warrant was granted, which named as officers: Charles G. Waterbury, Master Charles F. Newton, SW Albert G. Bagley, JW Charter Members
Waterbury, Charles G. Bagley, Albert G. Bessey, Charles A. Lewin, Isaac Ayers, Eleizer [Eleazer] Newton, Charles F. Phillips, William H. Lewis, Laban Myers, Erastus King, John A. The officer of the Lodge were installed 6 May 1851 by officers of the Grand Lodge, a special meeting being called for the purpose of dedication a Lodge room and installing the officers of Atwood and Worth Lodges. In 1852 circumstances occurred which caused such dissatisfaction among the members that in order to restore peace and harmony the subject was referred to the Grand Steward’s Lodge, and at a meeting held 29 Sep 182 an effort was made to reconcile the differences and bring about a better state of affairs in the Lodge. The records of this meeting contain the following: “This difficulty in Atwood Lodge No. 208, being under consideration, the members of that Lodge were called before the Grand Stewards, who suggested a plan for settling their difficulties, viz.: a separation of their members, a division of all their property, pro rata, which, being submitted to each side separately, was acceded to; all charges being withdrawn and a general, free, frank and brotherly feeling restored among them, the past to be buried in oblivion. The following brethren were appointed by the Grand Stewards as a committee to appraise the property and divide the same: W.’. C. L. Church, W.’. H. F. L. Bunting, W.’. A. Lyons.” At a quarterly meeting of the Grand Lodge held 1 Mar 1858 the Master of Atwood Lodge presented an appeal protesting against the action of the Grand Stewards, which was referred to a committee for investigation. On 6 Dec 1858 at a quarterly meeting of the Grand Lodge this committee was discharged and a new committee was appointed. The records of the Grand Lodge under date of 7 Mar 1854 contain the following: “W.’. James M. Turner, from the Committee appointed at the last quarterly meeting of the Grand Lodge upon the appeal of the Master of Atwood Lodge against the division of the property of said Lodge, by a special committee of the Grand Steward’s Lodge, offered the following resolution, which was adopted: “Resolved, That the sum of seventy-five dollars be and is hereby appropriated from the funds of this Grand Lodge to Cyprus (late Atwood) Lodge No. 208, for and in consideration of certain losses sustained by said Lodge in the division of property between the members of Metropolitan and Cyprus (late Atwood) Lodge by a special committee appointed by the Grand Steward’s Lodge.” This it will be noted that the outcome of this vexatious and troublesome episode was the birth of Metropolitan Lodge No. 273, and the rejuvenation of Cyrus Lodge No. 208; harmony was restored, peace and unity again prevailed and nothing has since occurred to mar the progress of the Lodge. The Lodge took an active interest in every effort made toward the erection of the Masonic Temple of 23rd Street, promptly paying its quota toward extinguishing the “Great Debt” – that incubus which so long prevented the erection of the Home at Utica, NY. Meeting Places: The first meeting place was in the Keystone Hotel, corner of Christie and Division Streets. From 1857 to Apr 1868 it met in the Utah House, corner of Eighth Avenue and 25th Street. The next meeting place was on the corner of Eighth Avenue and 18th Street, remaining here until Apr 1870, when it moved to the Decker Building, No. 33 Union Square, returning to its old quarters on 18th Street in May 1878. On 3 May 1875 it moved to the Masonic Hall on 23rd Street, remaining there until May 1878, when it moved to the Tabernacle rooms on West 13th Street, remaining here but one year, when it returned to the Utah House, remaining there until 1885, when these quarters were condemned for Masonic purposes by the Grand Master. In Jun 1885 it moved to the Grand Opera House, corner of Eighth Avenue and 23rd Street, remaining there until May 1892, when it again moved; this time to Circle Hall, Eighth Avenue and 58th Street. In Jan 1897 it returned to the Grand Opera House, remaining there until 1 May 1901, when it moved to the Masonic Hall on 23rd Street. In Sep 1909 it moved into the new Masonic Hall on 24th Street. The Lodge was represented at the laying of the cornerstone of the Masonic Hall on 23rd Street 8 Jun 1870, the laying of the cornerstone of the Egyptian Obelisk in Central Park 9 Oct 1880, and the laying of the cornerstone of the Home at Utica, NY, 21 May 1891. When the war for the Union began in 1861 the Lodge passed a resolution releasing all members who volunteered to defense of “Old Glory” from the payment of dues while in the United States service. Several of the members volunteered. Among them were:
Banta, Richard A. Evans, John J. Dealing, William H. [17th Infantry] Jerman, Daniel Cuttle, George C. [9th Infantry] Jerman, Thomas [28th Battery] Thomas, Isaac Tompkins, Moses J.

Ellison Worth Lodge No. 210, New York City Warrant: The warrant in possession of the Lodge is dated 4 Mar 1851 The name and number has never been changed. Minutes: Not intact. All records from May 1891 to Jan 1895 are missing. Worth Lodge was organized at the Keystone Hotel, corner of Division and Christie Streets 25 Dec 1850. T  his name selected for the Lodge was “City,” but scarcely had the name been agreed upon when Henry C. Atwood, Grand Master of St. John’s Grand Lodge, was introduced. The minutes state that: “After a hearty interchange of sentiment and the utmost good feeling Brother Atwood expressed a wish to hear of some new Lodge having adopted the name of Worth; he then pictured in the most vivid manner some of the meritorious conduct of our lamented late Bro. Gen. W. J. Worth, of the US Army, and dwelt with great force on that portion which occurred before the Grand Lodge of the State of Mississippi, which was not only very instructive, but was listened to with the deepest interest and pleasure by all present.”
