HISTORIC REFLECTION … Bryan Lodge No. 1064 Loyal Order of the Moose was instituted with 50 charter members. The group’s original meeting place is unknown. The organization met on the second floor of 135 West Butler Street and—by the 1930s—at 124 East High Street. Membership declined and in 1937 the Lodge was reorganized and new members recruited. The reorganized lodge met upstairs at 124 North Lynn Street. On September 30, 1962, ground was broken for the Lodge’s existing facility at 710 North Main Street. The 92- by 77-foot building cost $75,000 and was formally dedicated on January 20, 1963. In 1973, a meeting and recre-ation room and enlarged dining and club rooms were added to the Lodge home. This vintage image from the Bryan Times collection was taken inside the Bryan Moose Lodge upstairs at 124 North Lynn Street. From left are Wally Groves, Ike Essi and Tom Essi.
