Albert Pike Memorial Temple
Albert Pike Memorial Temple, Masonic temple on Scott Street in Little Rock, Arkansas.
The Albert Pike Memorial Temple occupies an entire city block with a neoclassical structure featuring nineteen Ionic columns roughly 40 feet tall. This three-story building with a basement spans about 156,000 square feet and impresses with its symmetrical limestone design.
The building was constructed in 1924 by architects George Mann and Eugene Stern, replacing an earlier Masonic building that burned down in 1919. The new structure marked an important moment for the Masonic community in Little Rock to reestablish its presence.
This temple serves as the headquarters for the Arkansas Grand Lodge and hosts multiple Masonic organizations that gather here for meetings. The spaces are used by the local community for various social events and gatherings.
The exterior is easy to explore and you can see the architectural details from Scott Street. For interior access, check ahead since the spaces are typically open only during events or specific times.
Three massive bronze doors mark the entrance and give the building an especially dignified appearance. Cast concrete eagles are positioned on both sides of the facade, complementing the classical design.
