説明 | Built in 1920-1926, this massive Gothic Revival-style building was designed by George D. Mason to serve as the main Masonic Temple for Detroit. The building is the world’s largest Masonic Temple, with three ballrooms and banquet halls, a large drill hall, and three theaters, along with recreational facilities, offices, and hotel rooms. The building consists of an western wing, which stands 16 stories and 210 feet (64 meters) tall, housing the Freemasons, with a 7-story central wing, housing an auditorium known as the Scottish Rite Cathedral, featuring 1,586 seats, and the massive drill hall, and a 10-story eastern wing, which houses the Detroit branch of Shriners International. The building is clad in limestone with metal casement windows, square and octagonal towers at the corners of the building’s corners, gothic arched bays at the base and crown of the building’s facade, decorative tracery, recessed metal and stone spandrels, decorative reliefs, decorative brass light fixtures on the exterior, bay windows, stone sculptures, and brick cladding on the rear facade. Inside, the building are spaces with original ceilings, decorative trim, vaulted ceilings, historic light fixtures, engaged columns and pilasters, balconies, lobbies, stone floors, wooden paneling, and painted murals on the walls and ceilings. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, and is a contributing structure in the Cass Park Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. The building presently houses various organizations and events, with the large hotel room portion of the building being presently unused and vacant. |
