The upper stone was lowered into place and the ancient ceremonies were concluded. Festivities ended with a luncheon. It was a great celebration, but the best was yet to come!

Less than three weeks later, on Tuesday evening, September 27, 1881, an organizational meeting was held at Hinshaw Hall which resulted in the formation of Morning Star Chapter No. 61, Order of the Eastern Star.

The building progressed rapidly. The tower to house the Town Clock was completed, and awaited arrival of the clockworks. By the end of January 1882, the Petaluma Social Club occupied their new and elegant rooms on the third floor of the new Temple. These quarters consisted of a large billiard and dancing hall, two parlors and card rooms, dressing room, dining room, kitchen and closets. On the second floor, besides the Masonic Lodge room and usual adjoining anterooms, there were seven offices on the Western Avenue side.

The ground floor originally had three stores, all fronting on Main Street.
