THE HISTORY OF THE WILLIAM BLACK LODGE

The William Black Lodge was founded in 1915 as the North Carolina Home for Religious Workers. The name was changed in 1928, to honor the memory of William Black who was Evangelist for the Synod of North Carolina. The present Lodge, built in 1951, is a three level building constructed of native stone. A wing containing the W. H. Belk Conference and Worship Center was added in 1982.
