[1][2] Since 1918, the Masonic Temple has hosted numerous events from weddings to family celebrations, meetings and conferences to product launches.
The rectangular concrete structure is surfaced on the principal south and east elevations with face brick and patterned terra cotta, beneath a hipped roof parapet sheathed with clay mission tile.
The principal elevations are divided vertically into bays by shallow terra cotta-sheathed fluted pilasters that extend from the street up to the frieze beneath the projecting cornice.
The separation of each of the different tiers is emphasized horizontally by a variety of sizes and shapes of decorative terra cotta trim that include egg and dart motifs, and twisting rope designs.
The main entry of the Temple itself is guarded by two full size terra cotta figures representing medieval Knights Templar, mounted on either side of the segmented arched doorway.
The second floor contains four large meeting rooms with tall ceilings that open off the north–south hallway, and extend all the way from the hall to the east wall of the building.
The large expansive interior spaces themselves are decorated with beamed ceilings and a rich variety of stencil patterns, moldings and trim.
Each room is decorated somewhat differently, but have in common a large tall interior space with raised seating and fine wood wall paneling all around the sides.
All wood paneling surrounding the lower half of the room and including entry doors and locker cabinets, is expertly crafted.
Decorative arched stained glass windows provide a filtered exterior light to the meeting rooms from the eastern elevation.
A tall handsome fireplace surfaced with terra cotta tile lies on the west wall of the club room.
Original light fixtures with an Art Nouveau touch are affixed to auditorium walls that contain terra cotta designs with Moderne style imagery.
A large arched opening leads to an area on the back northeast corner, surrounded by windows that can seat many for special programs, dinners, etc., with a kitchen adjacent for the preparation of food and meals.
The topmost floor along the west wall contains mechanical equipment and a string of small rooms or "apartments" (that are currently vacant) overlooking the parking lot.
The northwest corner of the ground floor lobby contains a small wood frame entry office/service enclosure that has been built within the original terra cotta walls and decor, and is removable.
The basement storage room has been refinished on the interior and doesn't reflect the age and design of the rest of the building.
