Tarkastad Freemasons Lodge
This little stone building next to the Presbyterian Church in Tarkastad is the Tarkastad Freemasons Lodge. It was built in 1881 with stone that came from somewhere between Tarkastad and Cradock. The Lodge is called the White Hope Lodge because of Mr White, the then local pharmacist, and his continued hope for a lodge to be built. The number 1939 can be found on the building, but it doesn’t refer to a year; rather is the lodge’s number. The Lodge was consecrated on 13 March 1882.
