Not built by "the Freemasons" edit

Just a note... the Level Club was not "built by the Freemasons". This is a turn of phrase that implies that it was built by the Masons as an organization (and therefor had "official" sponsorship and support from the Grand Lodge of New York). This is not the case. The Level Club was built by a group of individuals who happened to be Freemasons... for the purpose of housing a private gentleman's club, in the tradition of such other men's clubs as the Union Club or the University Club. While one had to be a Freemason in order to be a member of the Level, membership in the Freemasons did not automatically mean membership in the Level Club. The distinction is subtle, but important.

11 years after it's interesting to view such opinions. The morale here to me is recognition after relevance. Relevant work of putting up the structure was done by conscientious men. We share in this heritage to the HIGHER POWER. Kanyinsola Sanu (talk) 17:42, 20 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
