Barcaldine Masonic Temple, Masonic temple in Barcaldine, Australia.
The two-story timber structure features a gambrel roof with triangular dormers and a front facade decorated with horizontal boards resembling classical masonry.
Railway workers established the Comet Lodge in 1876 and moved their temple six times along the expanding railway line before settling in Barcaldine in 1886.
The temple represents the growth of Freemasonry in Queensland, with lodge members establishing new branches as settlements developed along transportation routes.
Located at 39 Beech Street, the temple includes a ground floor supper room with brown dado and floral friezes, plus an upper lodge room.
The building received restoration funding of 88,000 dollars from the Queensland Government to preserve its distinctive painted masonry effect and architectural elements.
