Masonic Temple, Masonic temple in Kent, Ohio.
The two-and-a-half-story brick structure features a sandstone foundation, tall windows, a wraparound porch, and a central tower beneath a slate roof.
Between 1880 and 1882, architect Isaac Tuttle supervised the construction of this Italianate building, which initially served as the residence of the Kent family.
Four United States presidents, including Benjamin Harrison, William McKinley, William Howard Taft, and Warren Harding, stayed in the designated President's Room.
The building stands at coordinates 41.154167 latitude and -81.363056 longitude, occupying 1.5 acres within the West Main Street District of Kent.
The third-floor ballroom remains closed since 1886, following the tragic death of Kittie Kent from a kerosene heater explosion in that space.
