The beautiful old handmade furniture inside of Waller Lodge hall was Donated by Holland Lodge #1 to the Waller Lodge in 1911 after half of the town of Waller burned in a disastrous fire. Of course the lodge building was included in the half that burned. Everything inside the building was lost.

Since the furniture was used in the first lodge in Texas it is very likely that when you sit in the lodge hall in Waller, you are sitting where Sam Houston, Anson Jones and many other Texas heroes sat before you.

The Eastern Star co-sponsored the Rainbow Girls with the Hempstead chapter, given to needy families at Thanksgiving and Christmas, made and gave decoration to 2 Waller and 1 Hempstead nursing homes. They also helped with the Volunteer Fire Department, blood drives, the Eastern Star Home and nursing homes in the area.

The Eastern Star helped carpet the lodge room and paid to have the furniture reupholstered and refinished. They also paid half the cost of a new air-conditioning system.
