Masonic Temple (Detroit)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Detroit Masonic Temple is a large-events venue located in Detroit, Michigan. Designed by architect George D. Mason, it was built in 1926 and also serves as headquarters to fifty Detroit-area Masonic organizations.
At one end of the building is the 14-story, 210-foot Ritualistic Building, home to most of the Masonic organizations that call the Masonic Temple home. At the other end is ten-story Moslem Temple tower. In between are a 1,586-seat Scottish Rite Cathedral, a 17,500-square-foot drill hall used for trade shows, conventions, and a floating floor, plus two ballrooms--one of which measures 17,264 square feet and holds up to 1,000.
And there is also, of course, the 4,404-seat Masonic Temple Theater, used for concerts, Broadway shows and other special events. It contains a 55-foot-by-100-foot stage.
