The Consolidated Lodge is known in the First Masonic District of Massachusetts as The Friendly Lodge. We were founded on August 19, 2004 by bringing together Price-Benton Lodge and Germania-Revere Lodge. Both aforementioned Lodges were complied of several Lodges themselves. The Consolidated Lodge has merged seven Lodges over the course of 33 years, bringing together a rich history of Freemasonry within the Commonwealth. Our Lodge continues to operate under the original Charter for Germania Lodge, issued by the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts on December 13, 1854; initiated by Winslow Lewis.
The below listed Lodges were merged to form The Consolidated Lodge:
Germania Lodge, est. 1854
Revere Lodge, est. 1856
Henry Price Lodge, est. 1858
Aberdour Lodge, est. 1860
Shawmut Lodge, est. 1911
Everett C. Benton Lodge, est. 1925
United Lodge, est. 1925
Aberdour Lodge merged with United Lodge in 1980
United Lodge merged with Shawmut Lodge in 1993

Henry Price and Everett C. Benton Lodges merged in 2002, forming ‘Price Benton’
