History and description

[edit]

According to historians of freemasonry, somewhere between 1873 and 1875 the Logia Ampara had a member named Jose Ramos de Anaya who went on to serve as Grand Master from 1903 to 1904 in Puerto Rico.[4]

The privately owned lodge, designed by Antonin Nechodoma, was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on June 15, 1988.[5] The lodge features a Greek Revival architecture style and is made of concrete. As of June 15, 1988 it still maintained its function as a meeting place for freemasons.[6][7]
