Lee Masonic Lodge  No. 435 A. F. & A. M. - Prosper

LEE LODGE NO. 435 A. F. & A. M.


IN 1875 MASONS LIVING IN THE

RHEA'S MILL COMMUNITY (4 MI. NE),

WHO HAD BEEN TRAVELING TO

McKINNEY FOR MEETINGS, OBTAINED

A CHARTER FROM THE GRAND LODGE

OF TEXAS FOR A NEW LODGE TO BE

LOCATED IN THEIR AREA. MEETINGS

WERE HELD IN RENTED QUARTERS

UNTIL 1903, WHEN THE MEMBERS OF

THE LODGE VOTED TO MOVE TO

PROSPER, A MAJOR TOWN ON THE

SANTA FE RAIL LINE. A LODGE HALL

WAS CONSTRUCTED IN 1904 AND

SERVED THE FRATERNITY UNTIL 1967,

WHEN A NEW FACILITY WAS BUILT.

THE LODGE HAS CONTINUED TO BE AN

IMPORTANT PART OF THE PROSPER

COMMUNITY.
