This building is one of the handsomest in the whole country, and is a decided ornameni to Bay City. It represents great and successful efforts on the part of the craftsmen, and is well worthy of extended description. The site of the building was purchased in the summer of 1890 by the several ?\Iasonic bodies meeting in the old hall on Center avenue. Ground was broken in October of the same year, and on June 24, 1 89 1, the corner-stone was laid with imposing Masonic ceremonies, by Grand Master Look of the Grand Lodge of Michigan, and the address was made by Grand Master of Knights Templar Hugh McCurdy. The building was completed and occupied by the several ^lasonic bodies in February, 1893. The Temple covers an area of 100 by 100 feet at the corner of Madison avenue and Sixth street, and is three stories high on the ]\Iadison avenue side, divided into parlors, drawing rooms, reading rooms, closets, etc. Running back from these, each consuming about 30 feet of the width, including corridors, are the lodge or assembly rooms - one 30 by 66 feet with gallery on the sides, the other 29 by 48 feet, designed as a chapter and commandery room, each with a stage and corridors running all around them, and ample preparation room.

The style of architecture is Moorish, with a flat roof, a portion of which is covered with tile and a portion with gravel. Before the fare it had one tower 114 feet high, and one large and two small Moorish domes covered with copper. The large dome and the tower have not vet been rebuilt. The material of which the building is built is Rock River brownstone, rough ashlar. There are t\vo entrances : One on the Madison avenue side - the main - admitting to lodge rooms and the parlors and dining hall, and the side entrance on Sixth street, leading to parlors and dining hall.
