Queens History and Freemasonry / The Lodges That Built Queens / Tadmor Lodge No. 923
Lodge Histories · Masonic Buildings · Notable Freemasons
In 1925, Ridgewood residents were asked to fly their flags for a Masonic cornerstone ceremony. Behind the celebration was a decade of rented rooms, neighborhood bazaars and institution-building—and a lodge whose history now continues in Astoria.

Part of The Lodges That Built Queens.
An Afternoon Worth Calling a Holiday
On the afternoon of Saturday, September 26, 1925, Tadmor Lodge No. 923 was scheduled to march through Ridgewood.
The published route began at its lodge building at Fresh Pond Road and Halleck Avenue, now 70th Avenue. A Masonic band would lead the building committee, Past Masters, visiting lodge officers and members along Halleck, Buchman and Catalpa Avenues, then down Forest Avenue to Summerfield Street.
There, a cornerstone waited.
The Grand Master of Masons in New York and his officers were to assemble at the Wyckoff Baptist Church across the street and meet the procession when it arrived.
The advance notices predicted ten thousand Masons—a forecast, not an attendance count. But the preparations were substantial. Residents had been asked to hang American flags from their windows, and the notices announced that Ridgewood would declare the afternoon a holiday.
A copper box was to hold the lodge’s history and roster, rosters of its affiliated organizations, a Bible, a silk flag, the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, Brooklyn newspapers and a photograph of the first Master.
The Brooklyn Times Union explained the holiday in a phrase worth keeping: it was “in recognition of the erection of another monument in the community.”
Not simply the lodge’s monument. The community’s.
That language reveals what Tadmor’s building campaign had come to represent. The lodge was constructing a meeting place, but its supporters were also offering Ridgewood a public sign of permanence.
Tadmor gave shopkeepers, druggists, lawyers, clergy and their families a setting in which private associations became publicly visible. Its rise from rented rooms to two successive temples followed the neighborhood’s growth.
Its later dispersal, as members moved to Long Island and beyond, would expose the limits of an institution whose strength had depended heavily on local presence.
Thirty-One Names on a Petition
Ridgewood in 1914 was a new neighborhood on old farmland.
It stood on the Queens side of the Brooklyn boundary, in what had been the Town of Newtown. Much of its brick housing had gone up between 1906 and the First World War.
Many residents had come from Bushwick and Williamsburg. Many were German or German-American. Their newspapers, commercial connections and social institutions reached across the borough line.
On June 9, 1914, thirty-one Masons signed a petition for a new lodge.
According to Tadmor’s later anniversary history, the district deputy set them to work under dispensation on August 26 at the Hillside Masonic Temple in Woodhaven.
In June 1915, the lodge was constituted and its officers installed at the Masonic Temple in Jamaica.
A Ridgewood lodge, in other words, began its formal work in rooms in two other Queens neighborhoods.
By August 1915, Tadmor had quarters at 144 Halleck Avenue, at Fresh Pond Road.
Edward J. Smith: The Man Who Knew the Borough
The first Master, Edward J. Smith, had been a Mason since 1907.
His working life ran through Queens public offices: secretary to the borough’s commissioner of public works, county-court clerical positions and, from 1927, a Municipal Court judgeship serving the Ridgewood district.
Later accounts called him “Mr. Mason of Queens.”
His Masonic work reached beyond Tadmor.
As district deputy in the period around 1919–1920, he presented Astoria Lodge No. 963’s dispensation at its first regular meeting and led Tadmor’s delegation to Geba Lodge’s charter-night observance in Elmhurst.
He was also one of the organizers of the Queens Masonic Association.
The [Anchor-Astoria lodge history](connect | Anchor-Astoria #0729
connect | Anchor-Astoria #0729
records Smith’s role at Astoria’s June 27, 1919 meeting, giving its location as the Masonic Temple at 114 Grand Avenue, Long Island City.
The identification of that historical address with Advance’s temple follows the author’s related research. It should remain distinct from the event and address explicitly recorded in the lodge history.
Smith represented a useful figure in a growing neighborhood: someone who knew the borough’s institutions and whose connections extended beyond the streets immediately around the lodge.
For the Astoria side of that history, read Anchor-Astoria Lodge No. 729: A Living Lineage in College Point.
Adolph Sanntrock: The Druggist
The first Senior Warden, Adolph Sanntrock, was born in Hanover, Germany, and came to America as a boy.
He trained at the Brooklyn College of Pharmacy, operated a pharmacy in Bushwick and lived on Seneca Avenue in Ridgewood.
He was the first president of a club for local physicians and druggists.
In 1917, he became the first patron of Tadmor’s Eastern Star chapter, extending the associated social circle beyond the lodge’s male membership.
Sanntrock’s standing rested on professional training, a storefront and a local reputation.
Hippolyte Goemans: The Diamond Cutter
The Junior Warden, Hippolyte Goemans, was born in Antwerp and worked as a diamond cutter.
Outside the lodge, he organized the Evergreen Board of Trade, served as its first president and represented it in an alliance of improvement associations serving Greater Ridgewood and Brooklyn’s Eastern District.
His obituary credited him with work on improvements in the Bushwick-Ridgewood section.
For Goemans, the lodge and the civic association occupied overlapping ground. Both brought neighbors into organized relationships and gave them a framework for acting together.
Rooms, a Temple and a Debt
Rented rooms did not satisfy Tadmor for long.
By 1917, its social club was holding receptions at Schwaben Hall on Myrtle Avenue to support a temple fund.
In 1918, the lodge bought the Halleck Avenue building. By February 1919, notices referred to its meeting place as Tadmor Temple.
Ownership brought a debt reported at about $20,000.
Clearing it became a neighborhood campaign.
In February 1920, the lodge, its Eastern Star chapter and its social club organized a weeklong bazaar. A street parade was intended to draw attention throughout the surrounding section.
An Overland sedan, to be awarded on the final night, stood in a Myrtle Avenue furniture-store window. A player piano valued at $1,000 was displayed in a drugstore.
Other lodges and fraternal organizations from Brooklyn and Queens took turns supporting the event.
This was civic labor as well as fundraising.
A building campaign needed committee members, merchants willing to lend their windows, bands, printers and neighboring organizations willing to turn out.
The money mattered. So did the work of making the lodge visible to people who never entered its meeting room.
By early 1920, Tadmor reported more than 350 members and another 150 applicants. Its Eastern Star chapter counted about 150 members of its own.
Those were separate categories, not a single lodge membership total. Together, they suggest the scale of the social network around the institution.
A Lodge That Helped Make Another Lodge
Growth did not remain within one charter.
In late 1922, men from Tadmor helped form Granite Lodge No. 1011, drawn mainly from Ridgewood and Glendale.
The Queens Masonic District history dates Granite’s institution to November 25, 1922, and its charter to May 3, 1923.
Granite remained close to Tadmor.
It met in the Halleck Avenue temple, and the two lodges held a joint Flag Day observance there in June 1925.
Granite and its Eastern Star chapter later supported Tadmor’s bazaars. When the new temple opened, Granite presented its pipe organ.
The relationship involved more than shared origins. It continued through rooms, ceremonies, fundraising and gifts.
Ridgewood and Glendale could sustain another lodge without severing its connection to the first.
Granite’s later lineage eventually reached Anchor-Astoria through Cathedral-Granite and Queensboro lodges. That sequence appears in Richmond Hill Lodge No. 892: The Lineage That Reached College Point.
Planning Something Larger
Tadmor, meanwhile, wanted a larger building.
In August 1922, after considering a bigger site on Fresh Pond Road, members voted to build at Forest Avenue and Summerfield Street, on a corner the lodge had acquired earlier.
The Brooklyn Eagle reported that the proposed building would be “the largest Masonic Temple in Queens County.”
That was a contemporary claim attached to the project, not an independently established architectural ranking.
Costs delayed construction until 1925. Plans were reduced, and members purchased non-interest-bearing bonds to help finance the work.
The ownership of the first temple requires separate attention.
A 1946 anniversary account reported that it had been sold to the Improved Order of Red Men in April 1922. Later notices continued to place Tadmor and Granite there, while some called the premises Oneida Wigwam.
A sale followed by continued tenancy could explain those references. A deed is needed to settle the sequence.
For the lodge history, the essential point is continuity: Tadmor continued meeting on Halleck Avenue while preparing its larger home.
The two properties also belong to the architectural history explored in Masonic Buildings in Queens.
Church, Family and the Work of Belonging
Tadmor’s public life ran through neighborhood churches.
In April 1916, less than a year after its constitution, the lodge attended a Sunday evening service at Wyckoff Baptist Church, at Forest Avenue and Summerfield Street.
The pastor preached on the Bible’s place in Masonry.
Nine years later, the cornerstone ceremony was planned directly across the street.
A Pastor in the Chaplain’s Chair
Another connection was Ridgewood Presbyterian Church, at Forest and Halleck Avenues.
Its pastor, the Rev. Arthur B. Rhinow, served as Tadmor’s chaplain through the 1920s.
The lodge, Eastern Star chapter and Order of the Amaranth attended annual Masonic services there together. Contemporary reports placed attendance at about 500 in 1923.
Rhinow preached at those services, conducted Sanntrock’s funeral and later advised a local DeMolay chapter for boys.
Church and lodge had repeated occasions to recognize one another publicly.
These relationships do not establish that every member shared the same religious commitments. They do show how closely particular congregations and fraternal organizations could work.
Excursions, Christmas Parties and the Stage
The lodge’s social life extended well beyond formal meetings.
In 1915, its Fellowcraft Club took about 200 people to the German Masonic Home at Tappan for music and games.
Children’s Christmas celebrations included Santa Claus, a Punch and Judy show and an electrically lighted tree.
The Tadmor Players staged amateur productions at the Labor Lyceum on Myrtle Avenue.
In 1924, their production of The Private Secretary drew an audience reported at more than a thousand. Newspaper estimates differed, so that figure should not be treated as a precise count.
Women served on bazaar committees and sustained the Eastern Star chapter.
The institution’s public reach depended on work performed by people who were not members of the lodge itself.
Welcoming the Soldiers Home
In December 1919, Tadmor held a welcome-home banquet for thirty-seven members and fifteen sons of members who had served in the First World War.
About 250 people attended.
The report described the room joining in the national anthem.
For an organization whose membership included many German surnames, the occasion brought family service and American patriotism together in public.
That is a reading of the event, not proof that every participant understood it in the same way.
Who Came to the Bazaar
By the mid-1920s, Tadmor’s guest lists included people whose responsibilities reached across Queens.
One charter trustee had become the county’s Republican leader. In 1926, he and Smith were assigned to welcome public officials expected at the autumn bazaar.
A municipal judge served on the committee. An assistant district attorney led the opening automobile parade through the borough’s main streets.
The prizes reflected the same network.
A Glendale resident donated an Essex sedan. A county judge and the president of the Savings Bank of Ridgewood jointly supplied a Ford.
When the new temple hosted a major ceremony that November, the guests included a county judge, a city magistrate, the Queens district attorney and the Republican county leader.
None of this means Tadmor ran Queens.
It means the lodge offered a setting where professionals, merchants, bankers and officeholders appeared together, with newspaper coverage carrying the association beyond the room.
For Ridgewood, these occasions connected a neighborhood institution to the borough’s wider public life.
Steel, Terra Cotta and Tapestry Brick
Tadmor held its first meeting in the new temple on July 19, 1926.
That autumn’s bazaar opened with a parade of decorated automobiles and was later reported to have raised $40,000 toward furnishing the building.
Contemporary descriptions identified steel, terra cotta and tapestry brick construction on a lot measuring 75 by 100 feet.
The second-floor lodge room was promoted as the largest in Brooklyn or Queens. The basement contained an auditorium said to accommodate about a thousand people.
Newspaper accounts put the completed project’s cost at approximately $200,000.
Those figures explain the undertaking’s scale. The achievement was not simply a larger room. Tadmor now had a building capable of hosting events that drew visitors from beyond Ridgewood.
Five Brothers in One Evening
On November 29, 1926, Master Charles W. Froessel raised five of his own brothers to the degree of Master Mason.
More than 1,500 Masons reportedly attended the occasion, with about a thousand in the lodge room.
On December 11, the Grand Master dedicated the temple.
Froessel was then a lawyer and Queens assistant district attorney.
He later served on the New York Supreme Court, became Grand Master of Masons in New York for 1944–1946, and sat on the state Court of Appeals from 1950 through 1962.

documents that later judicial and Masonic service.
Tadmor did not make his career. It did give him a prominent local leadership role before his later judicial service.
His achievements, in turn, became part of the lodge’s public identity.
A Place Other Lodges Came To
The temple soon served more than Tadmor.
In May 1928, the Masters of all thirty-two lodges in the Queens district gathered there for the constitution of three new lodges.
Froessel participated as district deputy.
One of the new bodies, Suburban Lodge, made the building its home. The author’s lineage research traces the other two, Maspeth and Rufus King, into Harmony Lodge No. 241.
In June 1931, Wakefield Lodge of South Ozone Park was constituted in Tadmor’s lodge room. Tadmor’s first Master participated among the officiating officers.
A neighborhood building had become a place where events involving the wider Queens fraternity could be held.
Members Elsewhere
For a generation, the arrangement remained substantial.
A 1941 initiation drew hundreds of Masons.
At Tadmor’s 31st anniversary in 1946, seventeen of its thirty-one charter members were reported still active.
Later death notices reveal an increasingly dispersed membership.
In the early 1950s, members’ addresses included Ridgewood, Glendale, Middle Village and Queens Village.
By the 1960s and 1970s, notices also placed Tadmor men in Rockville Centre, Oyster Bay, Williston Park and Lindenhurst.
Later addresses reached Florida, upstate New York and Georgia.
Some retained their memberships and received Masonic funeral services conducted by the lodge in Ridgewood.
These notices are not a complete membership survey. They cannot establish the pace or full extent of the change.
They do show that a lodge rooted in one neighborhood maintained connections with men who no longer lived nearby.
That continuity had limits.
Membership at a distance could preserve personal loyalty without reproducing the everyday presence that had supported parades, bazaars and crowded family events.
From Ridgewood to Forest Hills
In June 2011, the Daily News reported that Tadmor, once about 500 members strong, had declined to about 60.
The report said the lodge had sold its building and was meeting in an American Legion hall in Forest Hills.
A 92-year-old member returned from Georgia that year to mark seventy years since his 1941 initiation.
His visit connected the smaller lodge to the generation that had filled its Ridgewood temple.
The precise sale date remains to be established.
The available references place the temple in Masonic use in a 1988 notice and report its sale by 2011. That leaves an interval, not a transaction date.
A Lodge Still Working in Astoria
Tadmor remains active and meets at the Advance Masonic Temple, 21-14 30th Avenue, Astoria.
The author confirmed in November 2026 that it has met there for many years and continues to do so.
The date of the move from Forest Hills remains to be documented.
The present meeting place connects Tadmor with another Queens lodge history: One Lodge, Six Charters, tracing the institutions that converge in Advance Service Mizpah Lodge No. 586.
Tadmor’s identity did not end when it left Ridgewood. Its relationship with the neighborhood changed.
That is a different story from the later uses of the buildings it left behind.
What the Monument Meant
Both former Tadmor buildings are reported to survive in other uses: the Halleck Avenue property as a restaurant and the Forest Avenue–Summerfield Street temple as a youth center.
A 1988 newspaper notice identified the latter as the Tadmor Masonic Temple at 59-03 Summerfield Street.
Their sale dates, ownership sequences and later adaptations belong to their separate building history.
What Tadmor supplied to Ridgewood was never only a building.
It organized fundraising, family entertainment, public ceremonies and recurring encounters among people whose work otherwise took them into pharmacies, shops, churches, courtrooms and borough offices.
Its events made those relationships visible.
In September 1925, advance notices asked Ridgewood to put out its flags and recognize a new “monument in the community.”
For a time, Tadmor supplied both the monument and the organization capable of gathering people around it.
The lodge’s work now continues in another Queens neighborhood.

A Note on the Evidence
The cornerstone coverage used here consists of advance notices. It establishes the announced program, route and preparations, not a verified account of every detail carried out that afternoon.
Claims that the temple or lodge room was the largest in a particular area are presented as contemporary promotional descriptions rather than independently verified rankings.
The 1914 institution date follows the 1946 retrospective. The exact charter and constitution sequence should be checked against Grand Lodge proceedings.
The reported 1922 sale of the first temple requires deed confirmation. Continued meetings there could reflect tenancy after a sale.
Death notices show that some members moved away while retaining affiliation. They do not establish the complete causes of membership decline.
The 2011 membership figures are attributed to the Daily News. Annual returns would provide a firmer account of Tadmor’s peak and later contraction.
Political attendance and overlapping careers demonstrate association, not control over elections, appointments or professional advancement.
Tadmor’s present Astoria meeting place is confirmed by the author. The Forest Hills-to-Astoria move date remains open.
The later ownership and use of both former temples require a separate property history.
