Harmony Lodge
Harmony Lodge No. 17 was chartered as a Lodge under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge, Free And Accepted Masons of the District of Columbia on May 5, 1863.
The Lodge has met in the District continuously since then. Famous past members include: Clark Griffith, MLB Hall of Famer and owner of the Washington Senators; Carl Claudy, famed journalist and Masonic author; and Charles P. Lazarus, founder of Toys r' Us, just to name a few.
Today, our members are active leaders in their community, and we meet monthly at our lodge hall in the Tenleytown neighborhood of Washington, D.C.
Freemasonry
Freemasonry (or Masonry) is one of the world's oldest and largest secular fraternal organizations, whose members are concerned with moral and spiritual values. The Fraternity aims to unite men of differing beliefs into a harmonious and productive community through the application of Masonic moral values and the practice of benevolence, intellectual development, and mutual respect. The necessary prerequisite for acceptance into the Masonic fraternity is the belief in a Supreme Being and membership is open to men of all races and religions who profess belief in deity and are of good repute.
