Abou Ben Adhem Shrine Mosque
Abou Ben Adhem Shrine Mosque, Moorish fraternal hall in downtown Springfield, United States.
The five-story Abou Ben Adhem Shrine Mosque features red brick walls, terracotta-polychrome turrets, and intricate stained glass windows throughout its exterior.
Built in 1923 at a cost of $600,000, the structure contained the largest auditorium west of the Mississippi River and second largest stage after New York Metropolitan Opera.
The building has hosted numerous performers and events, from Elvis Presley concerts to presidential visits by Truman, Roosevelt, and Reagan throughout its history.
The main auditorium accommodates 3,200 people while the lower level event space holds 1,300 participants, with visiting hours from Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 4:30 PM.
A museum in the lower level, housed within a 1920s bank vault, displays Shriner uniforms, photographs, and Springfield historical artifacts.
