Masonic Temple, Masonic temple in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, US

The Masonic Temple is a four-story brick building at East Fourth Avenue and State Street in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. It was built between 1902 and 1904 by the Sovereign Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons, the state's African-American Masonic lodge. The ground floor held retail space, the second floor professional offices, and the upper floors were devoted to the Masonic organizations.

The Sovereign Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons, Arkansas's African-American Masonic body, built the temple between 1902 and 1904, with fundraising led by Joseph Carter Corbin and J. N. Donohoo. It was Pine Bluff's tallest building at the time. It joined the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

The Sovereign Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons, the state's African-American lodge, built the temple between 1902 and 1904, with fundraising led by Joseph Carter Corbin and J. N. Donohoo. The upper floors were reserved for Masonic organizations, while the ground floor held retail space and the second floor professional offices.

The building stands at the corner of East Fourth Avenue and State Street in downtown Pine Bluff, a short walk from the city's main commercial blocks. Its four storeys make it easy to pick out from the street, where the brick facade and ground-floor shopfronts can be seen without entering. Access to the upper floors, once used for professional offices and lodge rooms, is arranged through the lodge that owns the building.

The building was Pine Bluff's tallest when completed in 1904, and its ground floor was built as retail space rather than lodge rooms. That mixed commercial and fraternal layout, planned by Joseph Carter Corbin and J. N. Donohoo's fundraising, is easy to miss from the street.
