Duluth Masonic Center
Duluth Masonic Center, also known as the Duluth Masonic Temple, is a historic Masonic building in Duluth, Minnesota. Built in 1905 by George Lounsberry and designed by architect John J. Wangenstein in the Beaux-Arts style, it stands in the city’s central business district at 4 West 2nd Street on less than an acre. It remains Duluth’s main venue for Freemasonry.
In 2015, the center was added to the National Register of Historic Places for its art and social history. It has long been the focal point of Duluth’s fraternal organizations and is notable for its Egyptian-style frieze and the Scottish Rite auditorium, which houses 80 hand-painted stage backdrops—the largest operable collection of its kind in Minnesota.
