The sign also includes a brief history of the building which reads: "Built 1924-26, this building was constructed to replace the original Clifton Lodge founded in 1900, named for James A. Clift, the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge in St. John’s. Clifton Lodge was used as a community space, hosting Society of United Fishermen meetings, Women’s Sewing Circle events, concerts, and wedding receptions, and was briefly a classroom".
