Subdude Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I don't know when this was built, but it replaced an earlier Masonic Temple on Main that was destroyed in a fire. I have a picture of the old one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdude Posted April 23, 2006 Author Share Posted April 23, 2006 Here's the old Masonic Temple on Main Street. I think it was near Capitol, but I can't swear to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torvald Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 (edited) so it is probably this building from the 1912 main street fire? Edited April 24, 2006 by torvald 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted April 24, 2006 Author Share Posted April 24, 2006 Yep. That's the Binz building behind on the left, which puts the Masonic Temple at Main and Capitol (600 Block). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highrise Tower Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Edit: Split this into a new thread. There is two Masonic Temples in Downtown. Masonic Temple at Main and McKinney, circa 1927. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
