The History of Four Square Lodge #537 By John Pauluk, PM
Four Square Lodge #537 was granted a dispensation on April 13, 1925. Their first meeting was held on April 22, 1925 at the Old Temple Bulding at 73 Monroe Street, in Detroit Michigan. January 4, 1926, Four Square moved to Loyalty Temple at 646 Lothrop St in Detroit. It was located across the street from the Fisher Building. Four Square was consecrated June 21, 1926.
In 1944, once again, Four Square moved to the Ionic Masonic Temple located on Grand River Ave, south of West Grand Blvd., just across the street from the old Olympia Hockey Stadium in Detroit.
Ionic Temple was sold in 1962, whereby Four Square moved to Eureka Temple on E 7 Mile Rd, just W of John-R St in Detroit. Eureka owned the building, and there were four lodges who met there: Eureka, Tubor, Archive, and Four Square.
Eureka sold the Temple building in 1979 and moved into Warren Lodge. Four Square Lodge relocated to Birmingham Masonic Temple on September 7, 1979. That year WB John Pauluk was Master of Four Square and WB Bill Waltscott was Master of Birmingham 44. Archive Lodge (consecrated in 1927), who had moved to Centerline after Eureka sold their building, consolidated with Four Square in Birmingham. This was followed by St. Andrews Lodge #588 (consecrated in 1954), who also merged with Four Square on June 9, 1983. Before merging with Four Square, St Andrews was known for many Scottish members who had formed a Scottish Degree team with full Scottish dress. This became known then as Four Square’s Scottish Degree Team. The ornate Officers Aprons and collared Jewels that Birmingham #44 currently wear came originally from Archive Lodge.
In 1996 Four Square was suffering from declining membership, and with a lack of new members and difficulty filling the Officer’s chairs, it became necessary to consolidate with another Lodge. Being a tenant of Birmingham’s for 17 years and having a good relationship with their members, Four Square consolidated with Birmingham #44 on October 2, 1996.❗️ENSURE YOU HAVE READ DETAILS AND LOOKED AT THE PHOTOS❗️
