It's an architecturally significant building [citation needed] and is associated strongly with the social history of Pasadena[citation needed], in particular with the Scottish Rite, an appendant body associated with Freemasonry.

The building was designed by architects Joseph J. Blick and W.C. Crowell.[1]

In 1984, the building was deemed eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places based on its importance and documentation thereof, but the building was not finally listed (NRIS reference number 84003894, decision date October 3, 1984). The listing was cancelled due to owner objection, which under terms of the National Register program, vetoes the listing.[1]

In 2010, the building is currently listed (and photograph shown) in a Scottish Rite organization's directory.[2]
