Located in the centre of Falkirk, Lodge Callendar 588 is just off the
High Street - the main shopping precinct. It is 5 minutes walk from Grahamston Station. Buses are very
regular into Newmarket Street - 2 minutes walk.
The Lodge Building is a purpose built Masonic Temple
which was completed in 1906 over 100 years ago. In
this regard it is quite a unique edifice in it's own
right with particularly distinctive masonic elements
in the architecture. Elements which are appropriate
to purpose and particularly significant to
Freemasons
The Lint Riggs is home to a number of fine sandstone buildings.
The Masonic Temple on the south-east side is
undoubtedly the most architecturally significant
with its classical Corinthian style of architecture
and a fine inscribed door entrance complete with
balustrade.
The internal decoration and furnishings
are very interesting. Most notable are the
outstanding five painted windows each represents a
Principal Office Bearer namely - The Right
Worshipful Master in the centre flanked on either
side by the Worshipful Senior and Junior Wardens.
The two Wardens are flanked on their other side by
windows representing the Senior and Junior Deacons.
Depicted on each window are the symbols and
paraphernalia which pertain to each of those
Offices.
All in all this is an exceptional masonic lodge
building. Every man who becomes a member of the
Craft within these walls can and does feel rightly
proud to be a small part of ideals mapped out for
the future by our forebears. Foresight determination
and vision saw their dream of building and owning a
superb home for the Lodge become reality.
