Front row left to right are Dale Gerrish, Rae Stowe,, Perry Neet, Norm Camerer and Dean Matthews. Back row left to right, Wayne Clark and Don Navel. The first meeting of Parke Lodge #8 FAM was held 1844-06-25 with twelve Masons present. It received its charter on 1845-05-29. The lodge originally occupied rooms on the second floor of the court house before moving to the Rockville National Bank. The fire which destroyed the bank in 1907 also destroyed the early records of the lodge. In 1907, the lodge purchased the old Rockville Opera House and continued there until 1991 when their new meeting house on Strawberry Road in Rockville was dedicated on January 9. This item was donated by Perry Neet.
