The original pre-1861 St. Luke’s Anglican Church in Vienna burned and was replaced with the brick building in 1861. The congregation celebrated its 150th anniversary in May of 2011.
The present home of the Vienna Masonic Lodge No. 237 was built in 1860 as a Roman Catholic church. It was purchased in 1912 by the Vienna Masons and renovated for use as their lodge. Past Master of the Vienna Lodge, Bob Lozon was on hand to talk about the building and to give an interesting overview of the history and work of Masons and Shriners.
