Our Lodge Building

Seated
at the heart of downtown Duluth at Lake Avenue and Second Street, our
Temple building is a vital part of the history, spanning two centuries,
and future of northern Minnesota.
Originally
built in 1904 with Moorish onion-shaped domes visible at each corner
of the roof seen in the old postcard below, has been removed since and
an elevator has been added. The cornerstone was laid August 10, 1904,
by Masonic Grand Master of Minnesota William A. McGonagle and Joshua
B. Culver, Duluth’s first mayor, was the first master of Lodge.

Architecture and symbolism
combined to beautify
and instruct to the discerning eye.
