Editing William F. Hurd (section)

==Transforming the Lodge Building==

Hurd’s most notable contribution to Concord Masonry was his acquisition and renovation of the Lodge building<ref>Corinthian Lodge meeting minutes and histories</ref>. Around 1878, he purchased the structure from the town and embarked on an extensive refurbishment project. He added 16 feet to the rear of the building, moved it 42 feet back from the sidewalk, and created a new foundation marked by a black line of bricks, which delineates the original structure from the addition. 

The renovated building became a modern and dedicated space for Corinthian Lodge and Walden Chapter. After spending ten years in James Garty’s building, the Lodge returned to the remodeled structure in 1882, thanks to Hurd’s vision and financial commitment.
