SARATOGA SPRINGS — The North Broadway building that has served as a Masonic Lodge for the past 65 years is being placed up for sale. Rising Sun Lodge No. 103 was founded in 1809 and first held meetings at Reynolds Corners, located about four miles north of Gansevoort. The lodge moved to Wilton a decade later and in the 1820s relocated to Saratoga Springs,
long before Saratoga Springs became a city. Several different venues in and around Saratoga Springs were used for more than a century that followed, before eventually purchasing the building at 687 North Broadway in the early 1950s, where the Rising Sun lodge has been located ever since. “Past Masters” of the local organization have included prominent 19th century Saratogians Reuben Hyde Walworth, Carey B. Moon, and Edgar Truman Brackett, among others. See Story pg. 8
