Our Lodge History
After having worked under a Dispensation issued April 13th, 1847, Atlanta Lodge No. 59 received a charter from the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Georgia on October 26th, 1847, and, on December 31st, 1847, held its first election and installation of officers. The lodge rooms were on the upper floor of a two-story wooden building which stood on the corner of Lloyd (now Central Avenue) and Alabama Street, at south angle.
Leonard Christopher Simpson was the first Worshipful Master of Atlanta Lodge No. 59. He is described in the History of Atlanta as the city’s first resident lawyer, and a man of fine personal appearance and unusual professional ability. It is of him we speak when referring to the founder of Freemasonry in Atlanta, then in DeKalb County, Georgia.
