historical sketch

Fidelity Lodge #113 - Our History Our next regular communication is FIDELITY LODGE SUPPORTS OUR TROOPS HISTORY OF FIDELITY LODGE Page 9 --> From Ho-Ho-Kus to Ridgewood Before the end of 1871, the Lodge became dissatisfied with its Ho-Ho-Kus quarters. They were small and too accessible to eavesdroppers. A committee was appointed by the Master, W.Bro. Knapp, to find a better meeting place. The committee reported that a building with a suitable hall was being erected in Ridgewood. The hall would rent for $200 per year. The committee also reported that the present lodge hall could be rented for another year for $100. The lodge voted to stay in Ho-Ho-Kus another year. Meanwhile, Franklin Council No. 83 of the Order of United American Mechanics rented the hall in Ridgewood. During the later part of 1872, the question of a move was again taken up and negotiations were entered into with the Council of the U.A.M. On February 6, 1873, when W. Bro. A. Marinus was Master, Fidelity Lodge signed a sublease with the Council for a period of four years at a rental of $175 per year. The Lease provided that the Council would buy the carpet and chairs used by Fidelity Lodge in Ho-Ho-Kus and in payment the lessor would deduct 25% from the rent each year until the cost was paid. The desks and officers' chairs were to be loaned by Fidelity Lodge for the joint used of both bodies. The hall, known as Wilson Hall, was located on the upper floor of a building situated near the northeast corner of Broad
