Lodges
Secret society halls
Lodges are small, often rustic buildings used for temporary shelter, typically in natural or remote settings.
Historically, lodges were associated with hunting or forestry, serving as base camps for outdoor activities.
In Freemasonry, a lodge refers to both the physical meeting place and the group of members, with rituals and symbols unique to the organization.
Some lodges, like ski lodges, are designed for specific recreational purposes, featuring amenities tailored to their environment.
The hunting party stayed overnight in a lodge deep in the forest.
