Description
View of the Maccabees' building at 144 North Market Street, which housed the meeting rooms of the organization on the second floor and a retail business on the ground floor. The Knights of the Maccabees was an international fraternal and benevolent society founded in Ontario in 1878. After 1914 it was known simply as the The Maccabees. It provided financial benefits to families of sick or deceased members. It was organized to provide security to working class people who were not generally served by regular insurance companies. However, only white persons of sound health and good character were eligible for membership.
