The Masonic Temple , completed in 1905, has been occupied by the Masonic order and several affiliated fraternal groups. In recent years the nonprofit Masonic Temple Association of Spokane rented its various ballrooms and meeting places to area groups and schools for events, proms and other celebrations. In 2013 Greg Newell, an Australian businessman, paid $1.1 million for the stately building.
President Teddy Roosevelt helped break ground for the project. Architects Loren Rand and John K. Dow worked together on the Neoclassical Revival building, which was added onto an original Craftsman building. Some of the Craftsman touches are still seen inside. It shows the disciplined classicism tracing back to the Beaux Arts movement.
The building is on local and national Registers of Historic Places
