Our History
On the evening of Monday July 30th 1906, the Right Worshipful Grand Master of Scottish Freemasons in Queensland, Thomas Mylne, chaired a meeting with local freemasons that passed the motion “to establish a Masonic Lodge at Forest Hill, under the Grand Lodge of Scotland.
Issued Warrant No. 1016, Lodge Argyle met regularly at the Presbyterian Church in Forest Hill, before later building the Masonic Centre in Victoria Street. In 1920, Lodge Argyle joined the Queensland Grand Lodge (Warrant No. 115), which was subsequently merged with the Grand Lodge of Queensland in 1921 to form the United Grand Lodge of Queensland (with Warrant No. 164).
Using the Campbell of Argyll tartan until it became unobtainable in 1936, the Lodge now uses the McKenzie tartan on all aprons, collars and gauntlets, and the Ancient McKenzie tartan for our bow ties and the piper's kilts. Celebrating its centenary in 2006, Lodge Argyle has been a mainstay of the Forest Hill community, boasting over 240 members since its inception.
