If you are a regular Mason, we welcome you to visit and join us for Masonic work and fellowship. To visit, you must be a Freemason belonging to a lodge recognized by the Grand Lodge of Illinois. If you're not sure if your lodge qualifies, please contact our Secretary.
When you visit, please bring a dues card. If you do not have written credentials, be prepared to undergo an investigation to prove you are a Mason.
The tradition in our lodge is to dress in coat and tie. We do not enforce a dress code, we merely suggest.
We serve dinner at 6 pm. Dinner donation is usually $10 for members, $5 for visiting Master Masons and petitioners are our guests as are non-masons by arrangement with our secretary.
Our Location
Jefferson Park Masonic Temple is located at 5418 West Gale Street on the northwest side of Chicago, 2 blocks west of the CTA Blue Line Jefferson Park station.
Free parking available adjacent to Temple or around municipal building located directly west of Temple, after normal business hours. It is limited, however. PLEASE DO NOT BLOCK OTHER CARS OR ENTRANCES TO THE LOT, and obey all signs concerning parking. We want to be a good neighbor to the City.
Please don’t park in the TCF Bank / Gale Street Inn or McDonalds parking lots or on the surrounding residential streets (which require a local parking permit) – your car will be ticketed and/or towed.
