A building committee was formed, land was acquired, and the first Big Bear Masonic Lodge facility was erected in 1925. It was a two-story building with the lodge room on the second floor and the lower floor leased out for business purposes. That building presently houses the Big Bear Mountain Brewery west of the village.  
That same year, Bill Knickerbocker handcrafted the necessary furnishings for the east, west and south stations, as well as for other officers of the lodge

The first lodge building – where Big Bear Mountain Brewery now exists – went up fast. It broke ground in August 1925, the foundation was poured on Sept. 1, timbers were erected on Sept. 10 and the building was dedicated in November of that same year. There were seventeen charter members of Big Bear
Big Bear Lodge No. 617 was one of the first lodges in the state to receive a charter in its own building, and is believed to be the highest lodge in elevation in California.  At one time, Big Bear Lodge boasted the oldest living Mason in the state – Brother Juel O. Travis, who was 105 years old at the time.
