Prince Hall Masonic Temple
Prince Hall Masonic Temple, Masonic temple in South Los Angeles, United States
The Prince Hall Masonic Temple stands as a two-story masonry building at 1050 East 50th Street with brick facades and commercial design elements.
Founded in 1926, the temple became one of two remaining Los Angeles club buildings established specifically for African American community gatherings and fraternal activities.
The temple represents the Prince Hall Freemasonry tradition, which emerged from African American exclusion from mainstream Masonic lodges in the late 18th century.
The building maintains regular operation hours for Masonic lodge meetings and continues to serve as a gathering space for community events.
This structure earned National Register of Historic Places status in 2009 as part of the 52nd Place Historic District documentation of African American heritage.
