About this time, Barrhead was a mere collection of four different hamlets, Ralston, Dovecothall, Grahamston and West Arthurlie, names which are still known and recognised to this present day. Having originally held meetings in local hotels and public halls, in 1910 a fine new temple was erected on the present site at a cost of £1446. The memorial stone was laid with full Masonic honours in September of that year by the Provincial Grand Master, Bro Zachariah Henry Heys. That same beautiful red sandstone building still stands proudly today. Throughout the years it has been extended and updated in some aspects, however the history and character of the original building and design are still very much present.
