Cathedral and Scottish Rite Club
Carved
stone, brick, artistic stained-glass windows, luxurious carved wood-work, breath-taking
ceilings - enhance the hospitable welcome displayed to the brethren and guests
as they visit this classic Scottish Rite Cathedral in Hamilton. |
|
The Valley of Hamilton makes its home in the historic Scottish Rite building, built in 1895. Constructed by the Tuckett family of the Tuckett Tobacco Company. Scottish Rite leaders purchased the property in 1920. The Cathedral, considered to be one of the best of its type in North America, was opened and dedicated on May 7th, 1923. |
|
The architecture of the building lent itself to being called "The Towers". Appropriately the Scottish Rite complex is owned by Towers Inc., and is comprised of all three Scottish Rite Bodies. |
The
perfection of the Scottish Rite Cathedral for conferring degrees, from the 4th to the 32nd
is famous - inspiring all who take part. |
The Scottish Rite in Hamilton is comprised of three bodies; Murton Lodge of Perfection, Hamilton Sovereign Chapter of Rose Croix and Moore Sovereign Consistory. |
The Scottish Rite Club of Hamilton banquet and dining facilities are licensed. Membership to this prestigious Club is open to all Master Masons and members of the Scottish Rite. Participation is encouraged by member's wives. | |
The "Banquet Room" (above) is ideal for larger groups
and for smaller functions the "Round Room" (left) makes the perfect place. These
rooms are made available to the general public and provide a touch of class for weddings,
business meetings and special events. The grounds are well landscaped and surrounded by a
Buckingham Palace style iron fence, erected in 1905. |
|
Members
and guests enjoy relaxing moments in one of two Scottish Rite Club lounges before having
lunch or dinner in the elegant dining room. |
