A Brief History of Millington Lodge #166

Millington Lodge #166, A.F. & A.M., was instituted May 12th, 1874, with F. B. Dumham, W. M., Charles T. Turner, S.W., and John G. Hollyday, J.W.

It's first meeting was held in a room over the grocery store on the corner of Millington Avenue and Frederick Road.

Outgrowing it's quarters, it then removed to a hall on Frederick Road, near what was then known as Rock Spring Run. After remaining there for some time, a hall was built for it's accommodation on Frederick Road, opposite to it's starting place. Here it continued to meet for many years, until the place became too small for it's meetings; and finally, in September, 1903, it removed into the Masonic Temple, located at 225 North Charles Street.

In 1996 as a result of the decision to construct a new Grand Lodge building in Cockeysville, MD and after meeting for 93 years in the old Charles Street Temple, the Lodge, having held it's One Hundred and Twenty-second installation of officers, relocated to the new Grand Lodge building located at 304 International Circle, Cockeysville, MD 21030, by the order of Grand Master Ponzillo.

In November, 1998, P.M. Grebe wrote a request asking the newly elected Grand Master, Larrimore, for permission to relocate from the Grand Lodge. On December 2, 1998, Grand Master Francis E. Larrimore granted the request and on January 12, 1999, Millington Lodge #166 officially relocated to Palestine Lodge #189 Temple, located on the corner of Frederick Road and Newburg Avenue, Catonsville, Maryland; only a few miles from our first meeting location.

On December 7th, 2011 Grand Master Stephen J. Ponzillo, III, granted permission for Millington Lodge to relocate to nearby 6 Ingleside Avenue, in Catonsville, starting January 2012.
