Completed in 1923, the Second Renaissance Revival style Masonic temple is one of few remaining buildings located in Niles' historic downtown from this early twentieth century period of growth and development in the community. Additionally, the Niles Masonic Temple symbolizes through its architectural styling, plan and function the fraternal institution within Niles and the shift in Freemasonry in the 1920s to a more civic, service-focused Organized Freemasonry was established in Ohio in 1790 in Marietta. The earliest founding of a lodge in the Connecticut Western Reserve in Northeast Ohio was in 1803 with the Erie Lodge No. 47, Ancient Free and Accepted York Masons in Warren, Trumbull County.
The Erie Lodge members joined with five other lodges from Marietta, Cincinnati, Zanesville, Chillicothe and Worthington to take action to form a Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Ohio in 1808 in Chillicothe, then the state capital.' During the 1830s and into the mid-nineteenth century, Freemasonry, along with other organizations that practiced secret rituals, fell out of favor and was often the subject of criticism as undemocratic and elitist.? By 1880, Masonic organizations had re-established their positions as important, respectable and prestigious local 1850 - 1860, membership tripled and by 1870 there were almost 500,000 Masons nationwide in over 7000 County after a lapse of forty-three years.* Additional lodges formed in Trumbull County during this period were the Gustavas Lodge No. 442 in Kinsman in 1870; the Warren Council No.

39 Knights Templer in The post-Civil War era brought increased industrial growth and prosperity for Niles. Factors leading up to this growth were the coming of the railroad in 1856 and the demand for industrial products during the Civil War and following it. The iron industry expanded as well as the development of new industries including the Globe Foundry in 1858; the Harris, Blackford & Company rolling mill; the Niles Boiler Works; and in 1872 the Niles Firebrick Company.® The first place the Niles lodge conducted meetings was in a three story commercial building owned by H. H. Mason at the corner of State and Main streets built in 1866. Later locations were also space in various commercial buildings including the Deither Hall and the Wagstaff block, formerly located on site of McKinley Memorial.
The 1867 charter gave the Niles lodge jurisdiction over Masons in Girard and Weathersfield, by 1921 the lodge had grown to 480 members. Even though President William McKinley never entered this building of the Niles Masonic Temple, he had a very significant role in the development of the new building. President McKinley was a Mason and did visit the local Masonic Lodge on occasion when his activities brought him to Niles. Born in Niles on January 29th 1843, throughout his life McKinley maintained a close relationship with several families in Niles and visited the area frequently. President William McKinley was assassinated by an anarchist in Buffalo, NY on September 6, 1901 and died on September 14*h from infection of the bullet wound.
On May 15, 1907 a discussion was engaged at a Mahoning Lodge meeting relative to the formation of a stock company for the purpose of building a Masonic Temple in honor of the late President William McKinley. A motion to appoint a committee of five, being amended to three, to further pursue the plan, passed. Concurrent with these plans, a boyhood friend of McKinley's, Joseph G. Butler, Jr. conceived the idea that Niles, Ohio should have a permanent memorial in honor of William McKinley, the nation's 25'h president. At the suggestion of Butler and sponsored by Congressman W. Aubrey Thomas, of Niles, the 61 Congress of the National McKinley Birthplace Memorial Association. Butler was a founding member of Mahoning Lodge No. 394. He moved to Youngstown in 1878 and established the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Company and the Briar Hill Steel Company.

The Neo-Classical style memorial and library was to be situated in the center of the Niles commercial area in a park setting bounded on the south by West Park Avenue, on the east by North Main Street, on the north by West Church Street, and on the west by Arlington Avenue. The site called for the clearing of several buildings including the Wagstaff building where the Niles Masonic lodge held their meetings.
The construction of the Memorial began in 1915 with the formal laying of the cornerstone of the Memorial on 16 November 1915. The Masonic Order under the direction of Judge B. F. Perry of Jefferson, Ohio the acting Grand Master of Masons of Ohio, performed this cornerstone ceremony; and Judge Charles M Wilkins of Warren gave the Masonic Oration. With the completion of the William McKinley Birthplace Memorial (NR: 1975) in 1917 and the eventual razing of the building housing their meeting rooms, it became evident that the Masonic Bodies had to find a new home. On May 29, 1917 the Niles Masonic Temple Company was formed "for the purpose of erecting, and equipping a Temple building to be used, and occupied, by two or more Masonic bodies for office or storeroom convenient to carry out this purpose aforesaid and the doing of, all the things necessary or incident into 300 shares of $100 each.
Although the stock was fairly quickly subscribed, it became difficult collecting the cash for the stock. Therefore it was not until April 1919 that the Niles Temple Board resolved to buy the land on the north side of Church Street just opposite the McKinley Birthplace Memorial. The capital stock increased to $125,000.00 on invited Robert J. Keich of the Warren architectural firm of Keich, O'Brien and Hosker to design a building along the lines of a plan submitted at a cost not to exceed $75,000. The architect's fee for this was to be 3% of the cost. In May of 1922 the contract to build the Temple was awarded to the local construction firm of Hess and Noble. The cornerstone for the new Niles Masonic Temple, granite from the McKinley Memorial donated by Joseph G. Butler, Jr., was laid by Most Worshipful Grand Master of Ohio Frank M. Ransbottom in due and ancient form on July 30,1922.
There were 610 Masons and visitors in attendance for the ceremony and parade. On September 21,1923 the Grand Lodge of Ohio convened to dedicate the new Masonic Temple.

Founded in 1906 this Order of Eastern Star Chapter was named after the wife of President William McKinley. In February of 2004, Mahoning Lodge #394 and Sincerity Lodge #694 were consolidated to form Niles McKinley Masonic Lodge #794, with a new Masonic Charter and new name to honor Nile's native born son President William McKinley.
The Niles Masonic Temple reflects the growing late nineteenth century trend of Masonic lodges to undertake building campaigns to build their own temples instead of adapting meeting space within existing buildings. These efforts often resulted in monumental, massive buildings with distinct architectural character and fine details - enhancing the prestige of Masonic membership and making an architectural statement of permanence and stability within the community. The Masonic building's scale, architectural styling, and details made them schools, and banks. Masons viewed the temples as impressive testaments to the Masonic presence and prestige The 1920s witnessed a great surge of popularity in Masonic membership coupled with ambitious building projects. Nationally between 1910 and 1920 Masonry almost doubled in size from 1,300,000 to 2,570,000 members.
In 1923 over 30 million dollars was spent in building Masonic temples. These building efforts were highly publicized within the community and to Masonic organizations in neighboring communities and featured based in the practice of the ritual of conferring degrees of Masonry upon members as a means of recognizing a member's expansion of knowledge of freemasonry and advancement within the lodge's membership hierarchy. However during the 1920s Masonry was adapting to broader trends in fraternal organizational development with much greater emphasis upon service within the community, often exhibited by a greater emphasis upon public education, charitable activities, and participation in political and civic issues.
In part this change in focus reflected broad social movements of the early twentieth century - progressivism and the social gospel, both movements based upon the ideals of service and responsibility. Likewise, World War I propaganda and home saw tremendous growth not only in Masonic membership, but also in other fraternal and civic clubs, such as the Rotary, Kiwanis, and Lions. Masonic orders may have viewed this shift in emphasis as a means of competing within a community. 7 Dumenil, pages 149-150.

In the 1920s the Niles Evening Register listed meeting times and locations for twenty-four clubs, lodges, and membership organizations within the city. Also, not unlike today's rapid advances of technology and myriad entertainment options competing for one's use of free time, during the 1920s membership organizations such as the Masons were facing an increasing movies, radio, and drives in the automobile.
As a result, in addition to the ritualistic conferring of degrees to members, Masonic meetings were likely to nearby attractions. The Mahoning Lodge #394 sponsored a softball team that played teams of other fraternal organizations in the community and surrounding area. Masonic temple architecture begins to reflect this subtle de-emphasis in the ritual of the organization and the wider range of organized social activities. In some temple plans the lodge room became a smaller part of the The Niles Masonic Temple can be seen as a reflection of these broad trends associated with Masonry during the construction, the laying and dedication of the cornerstone and the dedication of the completed building were highly publicized and elaborate events with parades, speeches by Masonic dignitaries from across the state.

Many of these advertisements acknowledged the beauty of the Masonic temple as a lasting Architecturally, the Niles Masonic Temple complements the early twentieth century classical architectural tone in downtown Niles established by the McKinley Birthplace Memorial and Library.

Keich began his architectural practice in Warren, Ohio in 1916 and formed the firm of Keich, O'Brien & Hosker in 1922. Another building designed by Keich during this same period is the James Ward Packard House (NR: 1985) in Warren. Built in 1923 this Georgian Revival style house displays elaborate brickwork and detailing similar to that seen on the Niles Masonic Temple's façade. At the time of the construction of the Niles Masonic Temple, early twentieth century Niles was a thriving industrial center in the Mahoning Valley. In 1900 Nile's population increased by 75% from 1890 reaching 7468.
The industrial growth of the community continued in the early twentieth century with the expansion of the Niles Fire Brick Company and the founding of steel and other manufacturing companies including The Niles Car and Manufacturing Company and the Bradshaw Pottery Company in 1901; The Thomas Steel Mill and Empire Steel Mill in 1902; and the Fostoria Glass Works in 1910. By 1930 Niles' population had reached The Niles Masonic Temple represents one of the last structures of this early twentieth century period within the city's commercial center. With the current demolition of the old Niles High School in the adjacent block to the west of the Temple, there are few buildings remaining relating to the period of the early 1900s.
Along with the Niles Masonic Temple the 1918 Neo-classical Dollar Bank of Niles (TRU-2447-23) and the 1929 Art Deco style Niles Trust Company Banc One)(TRU-2447-23) are located to the southwest of the McKinley Memorial. The 1932 Beaux-Arts style Niles Post Office is located on West Park to the south of the memorial. The city of Niles went through an urban renewal over a period in the early 1970s where a majority of the downtown section was completely demolished and then rebuilt, including many of the churches. This included the razing of most of the remaining buildings that were located in the block of the William McKinley Birthplace Memorial, clearing that area to form a larger park area. This included the building housing the earlier meeting rooms for the Niles Masonic bodies and other fraternal organizations.
Much of the history of the city was destroyed with the loss of these structures. This has been coupled with the late twentieth century expansion of the city to the North and West and the building of the vast Eastwood Mall, resulting in many businesses leaving the downtown area to move to the new shopping area. The Niles Masonic Temple remains a part of the vital history of the founders of this city and area. Many of the founders of the city or instrumental in the development of the area.
