Kilwinning Lodge No. 565 calls the West Toronto Masonic Temple home. It is located at 151 Annette Street, Toronto, one block west of Keele Street on the south side. This building was erected in 1921 and has been home to 14 lodges since that time. Currently, there are seven lodges that meet here besides ourselves: King Hiram No. 566, Prince of Wales No. 630, Runnymede No. 619, The General Mercer No. 548, Victoria No. 474 and University No. 496.

View of the front of the building from the north side of Annette Street. The architecture is typical early 20th century. Note the intricate work on the overhang of the roof.

One of the highlights of Kilwinning Lodge and part of our heritage is the Kilwinning Pipes & Drums. The band has been an integral part of our lodge for many years. Visitors come from many miles just to hear the "sweet sound o' the pipes".

Currently under the direction of the Pipe Major, R.W. Bro. Peter Irwin, they entertain at all of our major functions.

The ceiling of the lodge room is a  "celestial canopy" which includes a hand-painted mural of the zodiac.
