Masonic Temple Building
Masonic Temple Building, Masonic temple in downtown Lansing, United States
The seven-story Masonic Temple Building features limestone cladding on its main facade with buff-colored brick extending along its sides and rear sections.
Local architect Edwyn A. Bowd designed this temple in 1924 for the Lansing Masonic community, which had been active in the area since 1849.
The building incorporates Classical Revival elements, including a pedimented block with antae and decorative anthemion motifs along the metal-grilled frieze roofline.
Located at 217 South Capitol Avenue, the structure served as Cooley Law School from 1974 to 2008 before being acquired by the Boji Group in 2021.
The City of Lansing proposed transforming this National Register of Historic Places building into its new City Hall headquarters in September 2023.
