Hollywood Masonic Temple, Masonic temple in Hollywood, Los Angeles, US.
Hollywood Masonic Temple is a three-story building on Hollywood Boulevard designed in neoclassical style and listed as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument. Six tall Ionic columns mark the entrance, while the symmetrical front displays stone ornaments that run along the facade.
John C. Austin designed the building in 1921, when Hollywood was expanding rapidly and drawing more people from the film industry into the area. The total construction cost reached 176,678 dollars, covering land, building, and furnishings.
The temple attracted numerous entertainment figures as members, including Douglas Fairbanks, Cecil B. DeMille, Harold Lloyd, and John Wayne.
The building stands at 6840 Hollywood Boulevard and now operates as El Capitan Entertainment Centre, where the television show Jimmy Kimmel Live is recorded. Access depends on scheduled events and production calendars.
The interior still preserves original Batchelder tiles, handcrafted wrought iron wall torches, and old post boxes that lodge officers once used. These features date from the opening era and show the craftsmanship of that period.
