At the Tampa Downtown Partnership, we wholeheartedly believe in and encourage the preservation of Downtown’s historic staples.
One of these staples is the Hillsborough County Masonic Lodge located in the Downtown Core neighborhood! Last month, the lodge celebrated its 175th birthday that included 100 of the lodge’s brothers as well as their friends and families.
The evening also included a ten minute history of the lodge and highlighted members who played a significant roles in the development of Tampa.
