The Wisconsin Consistory Building, also known as the Humpfrey Scottish Rite Masonic Center, is a historic building located at 790 N. Van Buren St. in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Its original address was 470 Van Buren before the street was renumbered.[3] The facade was extensively remodeled including the removal of chimneys flanking the corner dome.[3] It covers an entire city block and contains approximately 22,000 square feet (2,000 m2).[1] It has a chapel, an auditorium, a reception hall and a pub. It was purchased by the Masons in 1912.[4] In addition to Masonic purposes, it is used as a rental wedding and banquet hall.
