The Worshipful Master's station in the Lodge.   Some craftsmen made extremely beautiful furniture for the Lodge.   The back of the Senior Warden's chair.  
A thank you to Fennelle Miller who volunteered some research for us.
The chairs were made by M.C. Lilley & Company, a Cleveland-based company that specialized in the manufacture of regalia, furnishings, etc. for Fraternal Organizations. The specific version of the name of the company tells us that the chairs were manufactured between 1882 and 1902.
From the minutes we know that the Lodge experienced financial difficulties between 1892 and 1906, which makes it unlikely that the chairs were purchased after 1892. And because they couldn't have been purchased after 1902, it is likely the chairs were purchased when the Temple was built in 1890.
