The Tremont Grand Historic Venue
More than 150 Years of History
The history of the Tremont Grand and the City of Baltimore are intertwined. Built by the Freemasons as the Grand Lodge Masonic Temple in 1866, the building served as headquarters for the Maryland Freemasons for more than 130 years.
The Grand Masonic Lodge of Maryland in the 1800's
The History
United States President and Mason, Andrew Johnson, traveled from Washington, DC to speak at the ceremony marking the laying of the cornerstone. In 1998, a careful restoration was begun by the owners of the Tremont Plaza, next door, and reopened as the Tremont Grand in 2005. The meeting rooms retain much of the original Masonic symbolism, as well as beautiful murals and leaded windows from the 1909 lodge, redesigned and restored by architects, Carson&Sperry after Baltimore's Great Fire of 1904.
