Masonic Temple, Masonic temple in Lahore, Pakistan.

The temple at 90 Mall Road features architectural elements typical of masonic buildings, with distinct colonial influences visible in its stone construction and facade details.

Built in 1914 by architect Basil M. Sullivan, this structure replaced an 1859 temple and served as home to the Prince Albert Victor Lodge and Hope and Perseverance Lodge.

The temple hosted gatherings for members of different religious backgrounds during its active years as a masonic lodge until 1972, when Freemasonry was prohibited in Pakistan.

The building now functions as a government facility, with access restricted to official purposes and special permissions required for architectural research visits.

Author Rudyard Kipling joined the Lodge of Hope and Perseverance in 1885, serving as secretary and later referencing the temple in his novel Kim.
