The Kilbourn Masonic Temple is a historic Masonic building located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was constructed in 1911 as a meeting hall for Kilbourn Lodge #3, a local Masonic lodge which was one of the first three organized in Wisconsin in 1843. The Masons no longer meet in the building).[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1][3] When it celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2011, the temple was automatically deemed a landmark in the city of Milwaukee. The temple now serves as a fraternity house for the Kappa Sigma chapter at Marquette University.[4]
The building was originally a residence but it was remodeled by the masons with a Classical Revival facade which completely enclosed the former house. The renovation was designed by architect H. Paul Schnetzky and Son in 1911.[5]
