The Abnaki Club Rooms


The Augusta Masonic Temple is home to the Abnaki Club; while the Club is not an organization within Masonry it is an organization comprised of Masons. Its members are members in good standing of Maine Masonic Lodges. The Club was founded in 1894. The Augusta Masonic Temple has been updated with the addition of an elevator which serves all four levels of the Masonic Temple used by members.


The unique entry of the club hosts a rotunda with a domed ceiling, its modest size challenges depicting it in these photographs.


The club room offers two formal parlors on the North and South side of the building.


The Abnaki Club was instrumental in providing the restoration efforts undertaken at the Augusta Masonic Temple. 

  • Each of the rooms have been repainted, (dining halls, lodge halls, meeting rooms, stairways, restrooms, offices on the basement floor, just to name a few)
  • carpets installed in the club rooms and small lodge hall, 
  • hard wood floors refinished, 
  • the access corridor to the Lodge rooms was reconfigured to provide improved access
  • kitchen and restroom floors tiled,
  • doors rehung, and
  • painted the exterior facade of the lower floor along Water Street
