Wisconsin Consistory Building

The Wisconsin Consistory Building, also known as the Humpfrey Scottish Rite Masonic Center, is a historic structure in Milwaukee, Wisconsin that was built as a Romanesque-style Congregational church in 1889, then bought by a Masonic order and remodeled to an Art Moderne style in 1937.

To serve the community, the building included a 1200-seat auditorium, reading rooms, a parlor, classrooms, a gym and dining facilities.

[4] Typical of the style, the foundation is rough limestone, many openings are round-arched, and chimneys were tall and ornate.

When other plans fell through, they hired Herbert Tullgren, a Mason himself, to design an overhaul of the exterior.

As membership and general needs changed over the past decade, the building was eventually put up for sale and sold to a development company in October 2017 closing a 106-year history of Scottish Rite occupancy and ownership of the historic site.
