History
The Insurance Plans for Boulder c. 1900 illustrate that Lot 657 had the Friendly Society’s Hall with two shops in the front of the building, Sostenuta Pianos and a Dispensary. The building was brick.
An imposing large structure with two shops with large glass windows fronting Burt Street, the Friendly Society's Building was officially opened on 2 January 1900. A fine staircase between the two shops leads to the upper floor where the meeting hall for various lodges was situated. The foundation stone was laid by H. Glasson (president). Eight different lodges were united at the commencement. Later this was reduced to the A.N.A. and the Druids, with members of the other lodges joining them for meetings. The Lodge was the forerunner to today's Health Funds (Boulder's Hidden Secrets, 1993).
