Building History
This Masonic Temple, opened on 06/07/1952, replaced a 1906 facility that had been used at East Alder and Colville Streets. According to a history of the Masonic Order in Walla Walla: "The new, and present Walla Walla Masonic Center was built through the combined efforts of all of the Masonic organizations in the valley and was dedicated June 7, 1952. It was financed by funds from the various lodges and masonic organizations, along with the sale of Temple Association stock to members. There has been no indebtedness to any outside interest. The temple was built by the O. D. Keen Construction Co. at a cost of approximately $225,000."
