The Masonic Temple in Port Hope, Michigan is a building from 1867. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1]

The building has served as the main social and public building of Port Hope. Its architecture is vernacular, with a "smattering" of Greek Revival/Classical Revival elements.[2]

The building eventually became the Rubicon Township Hall. Its gable-front, two-story design with simple Greek Revival elements may echo the design of an 1864 store that town founder Stafford built (but which was burned in 1902).[3]:10
