Brooklyn Masonic Temple History
The Brooklyn Masonic Temple is
regarded as one of the most outstanding structures in the United States.
The cornerstone to this beautiful edifice was laid in 1907 as an exact replica of King Solomon’s Temple. Only
two other Temples of its kind have been erected in the world. One in Colorado and the other in Egypt. It cost four million
dollars to complete this art of monumental status. Marble staircases along with Masonic murals can be found throughout the
building.
In October 1977, the Temple was acquired by The Empire State Grand Council A&A.S.R.M., Inc. and opened
it’s doors to the public for the first time by making it’s meeting rooms available to different groups on a monthly
basis.
Rooms continue to be available for rent by public organizations as well
as more intimate functions such as weddings, receptions, birthdays and various services and events.
