The Yangan Lodge No. 148, situated in Yangan, Queensland, holds a significant place in the region's history, having been established in 1903 under the English Constitution. Initially comprising members from other lodges like St George's, Cunningham, and Killarney, early meetings took place at the Yangan Oddfellows Hall. The Lodge Room layout has remained consistent, reflecting the deeply symbolic and ritualistic practices of the Masons.
The Yangan Masonic Hall, the venue for Lodge meetings, was originally constructed as Yangan's inaugural School of Arts around 1898. Acquired by the Yangan Lodge in 1912, it was formally consecrated as a Masonic Temple in the same year. Notable features of the building include a panelled entry door with brass knockers and a sliding eye-hole that leads to the Lodge Room. Additionally, the lower level houses a small kitchen and dining area known as the Festive Board Room, characterized by walls lined with fibrous cement sheeting and a central chamfered timber post.
Recognized for its historical importance and community connections, the Yangan Masonic Hall is listed on the Queensland Heritage Register. Despite facing challenges in the post-World War II period, the Yangan Masonic Lodge has persevered and continues to convene at the hall, maintaining its presence in the community.
