The English Freemasons of Bahía Blanca and the foundation stone of the Anglican church
In a wall of St Paul’s Anglican Church there is a stone inscribed in English that few people stop to read. It was laid in 1911 by English Freemasonry. What it says, who laid it, and what became of Albion and White Bay, the two lodges of the British in Bahía Blanca.
Also in Italian: Silvino Olivieri, l’amico di Mitre che sognò una Nueva Roma vicino a Bahía Blanca.
