Island City Lodge No. 586 was chartered by the Grand Lodge of New York on June 18, 1866, after receiving a dispensation on June 18, 1865. It began in Hunters Point in what is now Long Island City.
The lodge later built a temple on Jackson Avenue. In 1938 it moved its meetings to the Mizpah Masonic Temple in Elmhurst.
It consolidated with Mizpah in 1987. The combined lodge then consolidated with Advance in 1993, restoring No. 586 to the combined lodge’s title. That is the number Advance Service Mizpah Lodge carries today.
