New Dorp Lodge History
At New Dorp, in a little Lodge room in Miller's Hall on Amboy Road, on June 19, 1928, New Dorp Lodge, No. 1092, was instituted. At the time of its institution, it was known as Sojourner's Lodge, a name later changed to Fort Wadsworth Lodge, and still later to New Dorp Lodge. In 1929, it moved into quarters in Koch Hall, New Dorp Lane and Second Street, where it remained until 1947, when it moved to the Great Kills Temple. H. Lafayette Keeley was the first Master; J. Harold Brown, Senior Warden; and Alexander Granat, Junior Warden. New Dorp Lodge is the only Lodge in the District to have changed its name from the original one named in the Dispensation. Meetings are now held at the Tottenville Temple.
