After meeting for many years in the Petersham Town Hall, Lodge Prince Alfred decided it was time to have a home of its own for the growing number of Lodges in the Petersham area. The present site was located and purchased by Lodge Prince Alfred and four other Lodges namely, Lodge Beresford No 161 , Lodge Stanmore No 366; Lodge Lewisham No 343 and Lodge Petersham Temperance No 513.
The coping stone was placed in position by the Most Worshipful Grand Master, on Thursday, 13th. September, 1928 by the Grand Master of the day, His Excellency Lord Stonehaven, Governor General of Australia. On the day of the official opening, 352 brethren were present to see The Grand Master place the coping stone, with the brethren needing to be restricted to the five local Lodges only.
