Arrow Kilwinning Lodge
The structure of the Masonic Lodge Arrow Kilwinning Lodge , at 9 Wiltshire Street in the New Zealand city of Arrowtown , was classified on December 10, 2010 by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust under the number 2110 as a Category 1 Monument (Historic Place Category I) .
The stone structure, designed by George F. Brown and completed by John McDonald, opened in 1888 as Arrowtown's Masonic Lodge and has been used in this function to this day. The local Freemasons had met in a hotel since the late 1870s and decided to build a lodge building.
The interior design was completed by around 1989. Today's anteroom was created by merging three small rooms; today's concrete stairs were originally made of wood. In 1991 an extension was made on the west side with a kitchen and toilets. The interior was restored in 2009.
The box room, which is decorated with symbolic representations of Freemasonry, is particularly important.
