The Masonic Temple Building at 133 Fayetteville Street in Raleigh, North Carolina, was the state's
first reinforced concrete skyscraper. Constructed in 1907 by the Grand Lodge of North Carolina,
the building represents the growth of Raleigh in the early 20th century and the rise of Masons's influence.
The Masonic Temple Building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 and is a Raleigh Historic Landmark.
Upon completion, it was praised for its innovative construction using reinforced concrete, a new concept in building materials. The design is a conservative and classic example of the tri-partite skyscraper composition developed by Louis Sullivan. The first three floors are covered with Indiana limestone. The rest of the building consists of light brick ornamented with terra cotta. The Kristin S. Lace Center and the Raleigh Lace Museum occupy the ground floor suite. |
