Masonic Temple (Aurora, Illinois)

The Masonic Temple in Aurora, Illinois was a historical building where Freemasons held meetings.

The Jerusalem Temple Lodge #90 Masonic body was formed in Aurora, Illinois in October 1850, only 13 years after the city was founded.

The body boasted almost a thousand members at this point, and they were easily able to raise over $200,000 for a new structure.

After the closure of that facility in 2006, the building suffered from deferred maintenance, resulting in water infiltration and damage to architectural features.
