(By Vik Kirsch, Guelph Mercury Tribune, July 13, 2014) Steeped in history — and some mystery — local Masons are about to celebrate 100 years in the same location in downtown Guelph. The three-storey, almost 30,000-square-foot building, featuring some original limestone walls and several additions over the years, was dedicated in 1914. Masonry has been active in Guelph since the 1830s.(Submitted on March 22, 2024, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)
