History

An early photo of the Samaritan's Hall

The Princess Royal Union Lodge, also known as Samaritan's Hall, was established in 1899.[4] Since its creation, the lodge has served as a school, a church meeting place, a youth club, a concert hall, and a meeting place for members of the lodge. Shortly after the lodge was created, the school was moved to its current location.
