Almas Temple

The Almas Temple is a Masonic building facing Franklin Square at 1315 K St NW in Washington, D.C.

It houses Almas Shrine, a sub-group for Shriner's International whose headquarters is located in Tampa, Florida.

The edifice is in the Moorish architectural style and features an elaborate, multicolored terra-cotta façade.

It was renovated and relocated about 100 feet westward to its current location in 1987 to make way for a new office complex, One Franklin Square.

The Almas Temple is one of the settings in Dan Brown's 2009 novel, The Lost Symbol.
