Masonic Temple, Renaissance Revival temple in Washington, United States

The Masonic Temple features a grand limestone and granite exterior with ornate columns and classical architectural elements spanning multiple stories.

The temple, completed in 1908 by architect Waddy B. Wood, replaced an earlier structure from 1870 and served as headquarters for the Grand Lodge.

The building transformed from a Masonic center into the National Museum of Women in the Arts in 1983, marking a shift in its community purpose.

The first floor contains an events space that previously functioned as a public movie theater from 1941 to 1983.

The structure, purchased for $115,000 on land called Seven Oaks, incorporated separate spaces for Masonic ceremonies and public rental areas.
