It was Oct. 8, 1907, when Elks Lodge No. 607 laid the cornerstone
for what would be one of the first lodges in Colorado to
have its own building. It was a time when that type of news
made the front page of the Denver newspaper: “Cornerstone to be
delivered to Idaho Springs.” It was a time when buildings were more

“Any building can be built by human hands,” said Chaplain Nick
Demercurio at the Elks’ time-capsule-opening ceremony Oct. 6. “But a
great lodge like this can only be built by human hearts.”
