Dayton Masonic Center

06/04/2026

The Lounge at the Dayton Masonic Center combines historic character with a warm, intimate atmosphere. Original chandeliers and Tiffany lamps cast a welcoming glow throughout the room, while restored baroque sofas invite guests to settle in and stay awhile. Look up to find hand-painted beams overhead, and gather around the stunning brick hearth featuring a classic herringbone pattern.

It’s a space designed for conversation, connection, and memorable experiences—which makes it the perfect setting for our upcoming Wine Tasting on June 11.

Join us for an evening of expertly selected wines from Vintage Wines, thoughtfully paired bites from Bernstein’s Fine Catering, and the opportunity to experience one of the Dayton Masonic Center’s most unique spaces for yourself.

Every ticket purchased also supports Culture Works’ 2026 Campaign for the Arts.

From jazz and dance to theater, harpists, and symphonic performances throughout the halls, the Centennial Cornerstone Celebration reminded us what this building was always meant to be: full of life, community, and culture.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, performed, volunteered, partnered, and helped make the day unforgettable — including the teams at Culture Works and the Dayton Masonic Center, along with the generations before us who built something worth carrying forward.

Here’s to the next hundred years.

Nearly 100 years after the cornerstone was first laid, the Dayton Masonic Center came alive once again today with music, movement, conversation, and community filling every corner of the building.

Thank you to everyone who attended the Centennial Cornerstone Celebration and helped make the day feel so special. From longtime supporters to first-time visitors, it meant so much to see people experiencing the building in motion.

Thank you to our incredible performers, artists, vendors, partners, volunteers, and staff who brought each space to life throughout the day. And thank you to the many organizations and individuals who contributed their time, creativity, and care to make this event possible.

Most importantly, we honor the Masons and community leaders who came before us — the people who imagined this place, funded it, built it by hand, and believed Dayton deserved a gathering place built to last. Nearly a century later, their work still stands.

Today was not only a celebration of history, but a reminder that this building still has a future ahead of it. Up the Hill, and onward.
