Fort Smith Masonic Temple
Fort Smith Masonic Temple, Masonic temple in Fort Smith, Arkansas.
The Fort Smith Masonic Temple features Bedford stone walls, three large banquet halls, and an auditorium with Egyptian Revival architectural elements throughout the structure.
The temple opened in 1929 after local Masonic organizations raised funds to build a new facility following the 1919 fire at the Baer Memorial Temple.
The temple served multiple Masonic organizations, including Belle Point Lodge #20, Temple Lodge #755, and Fort Smith's York Rite Bodies under one central location.
The four-story building spans 53,000 square feet and includes a basement with commercial kitchen, accommodating up to 1,100 people in its main auditorium.
Two cast sphinxes stand guard at the entrance, while Philippine mahogany woodwork and specialized light fixtures adorn the interior spaces.
