The Most Worshipful King Solomon Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of New York is a fraternal organization that was organized in Niagara Falls on July 18, 1906. The organization's first masonic home was purchased at 71-73 West 131st Street under the administration of John H. Smith, who served from 1919-1932. In 1964, the Alhambra Theatre Building at 126th Street and Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard was purchased and renovated. Over the years, the Lodge has contributed to the following charities: the Harlem Hospital Auxiliary, the Brooklyn Home for the Aged, NAACP, Queens Children Center, Urban League, and YMCA, among others. This collection consists of printed matter related to the Lodge.
