Present Day Masonry in Maryland
In 1960, Grand Master Willard W. Allen stepped down and Grand Master Samuel T. Daniels assumed the mantle of leadership.
Later in that same year, the Grand Lodge moved to its present location at 1307 Eutaw Place at Lanvale Street, and the Temple was duly named after Grand Master Allen.
In 1998 Grand Master Daniels stepped down, at which time the Honorable Shelton D. Redden was elected Grand Master, and he served in that capacity for twelve years.
In 2010, the Honorable Melvin M. Thorpe was elected Grand Master, he served for four years. In 2014, the Honorable Lee A. Taylor, Jr., was elected Grand Master, he served 3 years.
On Saturday, December 2, 2017, the Craft unanimously elected The Honorable Emanuel J. Stanley as Most Worshipful Grand Master.
Most Worshipful Grand Master Stanley is the youngest Maryland Mason to hold the high office of Most Worshipful Grand Master in 57 years.
With 22 years in the Craft he has served in a variety of capacities from Worshipful Master; Special Assistant to the Grand Master; Newspaper Editor; District Deputy Grand Master; Grand Lecturer; Junior Grand Warden and Deputy Grand Master.
He predicated his ascension to the office by clearly outlining his vision in a series of Strategic Planning sessions thus garnering the confidence of the membership of his integrity, business sense, and general love for Ancient Craft Masonry.
Currently, there are eighty-one (81) constituent lodges that constitute Maryland and its jurisdiction.
Sixty-six (66) are within the state of Maryland, eight (8) are in Germany, five (5) are in England, four (4) are in Italy, one (1) is in Belgium, and one (1) in Kuwait. Maryland Prince Hall Lodges look back with pride to their Mother Lodge and to Prince Hall’s life and leadership.
They each regard themselves as descendants from the Grand Lodge of England, from which Prince Hall received his own authority more than two centuries ago.
