Description
The Fort Worth Masonic Temple, designed by Wiley G. Clarkson and built in 1931, sits on a dominant hillside on the southwest end of downtown Fort Worth, Texas. Although the temple is of the Classical Moderne phase of the Art Deco era, it shows elements of other architectural styles. A grand exterior staircase extends from Henderson Street up to the front door. The building shape itself is a ziggurat form with the top of the ziggurat becoming a Greek temple with a flat roof. The columns on this upper portion of the temple are of the ionic order, yet the plan of the building is in the Beaux Arts style. The exterior material is Indiana Limestone.
