historical sketch

History - Welcome to San Benito Lodge N0. 211~ Welcome to San Benito Lodge N0. 211~ Home Trestleboard History Officers Lodge Photos Gallery Calendar Contact San Benito Lodge #211 Est. 1871 The San Benito Lodge No. 211, a Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons, that sits as the cornerstone of Hollister, reminds us of the past and the time when a new community was born.  Established in 1871, San Benito Lodge is celebrating its 140th Anniversary.  In 2011, the Lodge is celebrating the re-dedication of  the Lodge. The old building, that was built after the 1906 great earthquake, has been renovated inside and out for the 2011 re-dedication. The excitement had been building for years. The original plans for the lodge were drawn up by then noted Central Coast architect William Weeks. Mr. Weeks’ plans were accepted by the original Masonic Building Association, in 1906. On Saturday, June 1 in 1907 the cornerstone was laid with services provided by San Benito Lodge and the Grand Lodge of California. It took $21,000 in 1907 money to build the two story pressed brick structure that we now call our home, San Benito Lodge No. 211. The Masonic Lodge of San Benito County, located in old downtown Hollister, California, has received a much-needed renovation to both its interior and exterior. Some of the improvements include a complete resurfacing of the exterior of the building with paint and brickwork. All of the wiring in the interior of the building has been replaced. There
