Anyone casually passing by the current facilities of Day Spring Lodge #30, at 3732 Whitney Avenue in Hamden, might think Day Spring was one of the youngest Masonic lodges in Connecticut. Our present-day building is a modest, contemporary structure dating only from the 1980s.. But in truth, Day Spring has had a long and venerable history, one that has seen the lodge housed in a number of different
buildings down through the years.
