Scottish Rite Cathedral is a historic Scottish Rite Masonic building at 2128 Church Street in Galveston, Texas.




History


The Scottish Rite Masons previously occupied Harmony Hall, a building designed by Nicholas J. Clayton for the Harmony Club. The Masons lost this building to a fire in 1928. The Masons hired the firm of Alfred C. Finn, who assigned H. Jordan MacKenzie to this commission. This art deco building clad in brick and stone faced its loggia toward Church Street and made window placements to suggest the internal arrangement of the building. The building is decorated with copper doors and stone relief sculptures.
It was built in 1928 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
