Lodge History |
The lodge has been
in existence for over 75 years in May.
Many of the original founders came from the
immediate Black Diamond area.
History of the Black Diamond Area includes the
ancestors of our lodge. We are Lifetime
members of the Black Diamond Historical Museum
Society.
The Sons of Italy has a long history in
Black Diamond. The building was the Black Diamond High School before
it was turned into the Masonic Lodge. It was taken down sometime in
the 1960s and rebuilt where it stands today.
This is Black Diamond High School in 1916 |
