About Us
Lodge History
Washington Daylight Lodge No. 14 has a rich history rooted in the traditions of several distinguished lodges. Our journey began with the founding of Washington Centennial Lodge No. 14, which was officially chartered on November 4, 1852. This lodge, dedicated on January 13, 1852, laid the foundation for what would become a significant part of Masonic history in the District of Columbia.
As time progressed, other lodges with their unique legacies and traditions emerged. In the early 20th century, King Solomon Lodge No. 31 was chartered on May 10, 1905, followed by Warren G. Harding Lodge No. 39, established in memory of President and Brother Warren G. Harding on December 19, 1923. Brightwood Lodge No. 43, constituted on January 25, 1925, also contributed to the rich tapestry of Masonic history in the area.
In 1991, a significant merger took place. Washington Centennial Lodge No. 14 joined forces with Solomon-Harding-Brightwood Lodges, creating what we now proudly call Washington Daylight Lodge No. 14. This union brought together the diverse traditions and histories of these lodges, creating a stronger, unified lodge.
In 2002, we celebrated our 150th anniversary, a milestone that underscored our long-standing commitment to the principles of Freemasonry. Today, Washington Daylight Lodge No. 14 continues to thrive, guided by the same principles of brotherhood, charity, and truth that have defined our history for over a century and a half.
