The Scottish Rite Temple sits a block off the main downtown grid and is unmistakable: a low limestone block with a colossal Corinthian portico across the front, more like a state capitol than a fraternal lodge. The first phase went up in 1907; a much larger addition followed in the late 1920s.
Inside, the building has a working theatre, a domed banquet hall, and several smaller meeting rooms. Tours are available by appointment and are worth the call if the interior is open: the murals, organ, and stained glass are remarkably well preserved.
