Kora Temple, Masonic temple in Lewiston, United States.
The three-story brick Kora Temple features two onion domes, pointed arch windows with terra cotta filigree, and a rounded arch entrance on Sabattus Street.
Built in 1908 by the Ancient Arabic Order at a cost of 100,000 dollars, architect George M. Coombs designed this Moorish-style building for Masonic ceremonies.
The interior contains floor-to-ceiling murals depicting Arabic and Islamic history, painted by artist Harry Cochrane between 1922 and 1927, alongside Tiffany chandeliers.
The temple hosts regular Masonic activities and public events, with information about upcoming gatherings available through the Kora Shrine organization.
The building earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 for its architectural merit and connection to Shriners Hospitals for Children.
