SCOTTISH RITE TEMPLE |
| Description of Significance |
THE SCOTTISH RITE TEMPLE IS ARCHITECTURALLY AND HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT AS ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES OF LARGE SCALE, NEOCLASSICAL REVIVAL STYLE IN OKLAHOMA AND BECAUSE OF ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE MASONIC FRATERNAL ORGANIZATION IN OKLAHOMA. THE SCOTTISH RITE TEMPLE CONSISTS OF A TWO-BUILDING COMPLEX, THE TEMPLE BUILDING AND THE EAST ANNEX, JOINED BY AN ENCLOSED ACCESS HALL. THE EAST ANNEX WAS BUILT IN 1908 AND WAS ORIGINALLY KNOWN AS CONVENTION HALL. IT IS A TWO-STORY BRICK BUILDING WITH TWO WINGS AND A CENTRAL ATRIUM. THE TEMPLE BUILDING TO THE WEST OF THE ANNEX WAS CONSTRUCTED BETWEEN 1920 AND 1929. THIS NEOCLASSICAL PORTION OF THE BUILDING IS CONSTRUCTED OF INDIANA LIMESTONE OVER A STEEL-REINFORCED CONCRETE FRAMEWORK. THE MAIN FACADE FEATURES LARGE DORIC COLUMNS THAT SUPPORT A FLAT-ROOFED PORTICO. THE TWO BUILDINGS ARE CONNECTED BY A SINGLE-STORY ENCLOSED WALKWAY CONSTRUCTED OF BRICK AND STONE. LISTED IN NATIONAL REGISTER 4/9/1987. |
