This
is
the
Senior
Warden’s
chair.
In a
civic
organization,
this
office
would
be
termed
Vice-president.
This
chair
is
also
of
the
same
time
period. |

This
is
the
first
chair
used
by
the
Master
of
Duvall.
It
is
no
longer
in
use
due
to
its
delicate
condition
and
historical
value.
The
Master
of a
lodge
would
be
the
equivalent
of
the
President
of
any
other
civic
organization,
the
presiding
officer
that
is
elected
annually.
What
makes
this
chair
particular
and
relevant
to
the
link
to
the
to
the
Congressional
Resolution
is
that
it
would
have
been
in
use
during
the
time
that
our
fraternity
was
laying
the
foundations
that
would
eventually
garner
the
Honor
recently
bestowed
by
Congress.
Therefore,
we
have
chosen
to
share
this
piece
of
Duvall
history
with
the
rest
of
the
world. |

Here's another view of the Master’s chair from the side. Notice the high back of the chair. |

Together
these
chairs
compose
seats
of
the
Principal
Officers
of a
Master
Mason’s
Lodge. |

The
symbols
on
the
back
of
the
Master’s
chair
are
the
Eye
of
Providence
which
alludes
to
Man’s
reliance
upon
God
in
all
his
undertakings,
the
Moon
and
the
Sun.
The
Moon
and
the
Sun
have
several
symbolic
explanations,
the
most
applicable
and
obvious
being
the
diurnal
rotation
of
the
earth
about
its
axis
and
the
Progression
of
Time. |
