Our History

The world has seen many changes and advancments during the past century, and likewise, so has Three Pillars Senior Living Comunities (Wisconsin Masonic Home, Inc.). Our community was created on a rich Masonic foundation of quality and fellowship. It is our benevolent mission to provide exceptional senior living and we welcome Masons and non-Masons alike. Our values allow our residents to retire with independence, dignity, and security.

In 1905, a Mason named Willard Van Brunt established a $200,000 endowment to create a home for fellow Masons and their families who could no longer support themselves independently. Construction of the Wisconsin Masonic Home (Van Brunt Hall) was completed in 1923.

The two-year construction project was completed at a cost of $900,000. Van Brunt Hall continued to provide resident housing and services until 2006, when residents moved into their new Compass Point catered living apartments.

In 1982, the Masonic Health Care Center opened and residents of the infirmary were relocated to this new 84 bed skilled nursing facility. This building continues to provide skilled nursing care.


In 1991, the Village on the Square opened — independent living for older adults. The facility consisted of a 69-unit complex with five duplex residences. In 1996, capacity expanded to 108 apartments, plus the five duplexes.


In 1995,Riverside Lodge was completed. This facility, connected to the Masonic Center for Health & Rehab, provided a 20 bed Community Based Residential Facility (CBRF) on the first floor, and administrative offices on the second floor.


Beginning in 1996, Three Pillars extended beyond Dousman and into northern Wisconsin. MasonWoods opened on beautiful Shawano Lake in the town of Cecil. MasonWoods consists of a 26-unit independent apartment complex with five duplexes.


Most recently in 2006, Three Pillars became a pioneer in senior living options by opening Compass Point, a 75-unit Catered Living facility attached to the Village on the Square via the grand multipurpose Holz Pavilion. Compass Point is the direct response to our customers' expressed needs and preferences, and was custom-designed with the input of the staff who would be coordinating the services within its walls.




In December 2010, our new 13,000 square foot Hickory Suites Rehabilitation facility opened providing 14 private suites for in-patient, short-term rehabilitation care and designed with a hospitality/hotel-like environment.


In January 2011, we further expanded our outreach to seniors by extending a variety of exciting fitness, nutrition, and other wellness services to the local community through our Three Pillars Wellness Connection facility and programming.
