Masonic Temple in Athens, Ohio.

Freemasonry is a fraternal organization whose membership is held together by a shared set of moral and metaphysical ideals. Groups of Freemasons are called lodges, while the buildings in which they meet are sometimes referred to as Masonic buildings, Masonic halls, Masonic temples, etc. These buildings may house the meetings of numerous Masonic lodges, as well as other Masonic groups such as Scottish Rite bodies or Knight Templar commanderies.

There are thousands of Masonic buildings around the world.

Most Masonic buildings in the United States were built between 1870 and 1930. American architects who designed them include Burnham & Root, Napoleon LeBrun, Osgood & Osgood, John Russell Pope, and John C. Austin.

Shrine mosques are related buildings that were built by the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine (more commonly known as the Shriners), a group that is composed of men who are also Freemasons. Shrine mosques were erected in many American cities between 1906 and 1930.

The articles linked on this page are dedicated primarily to the buildings themselves and their history.

The best current work on the design of Masonic buildings and how their architecture is linked to the fraternity's rituals is: William D. Moore, Masonic Temples: Freemasonry, Ritual Architecture, and Masculine Archetypes (Knoxville: University of Tennessee Press, 2006).
