Masonic Temple

Back to Spokane's public & institutional buildings

(Mike Prager)

Beaux Arts classicism

The Masonic Temple, also known as the Masonic Center, was completed in 1905. President Teddy Roosevelt helped break ground for the project. Architects Loren Rand and John K. Dow worked together on the Neoclassical Revival building, which was added onto an original Craftsman building. Some of the Craftsman touches are still seen inside. It shows the disciplined classicism tracing back to the Beaux Arts movement.
