In 1927 the Masonic bodies that met there relocated to their recently completed Temple of Free Masonry on Graham Avenue.
It is a three-story brick building. "The clearly visible pair of massive stone arches on the Barstow Street façade and other decorative elements distinguish the Masonic Temple as a fine example of H.H. Richardson-influenced Romanesque Revival architecture and one of the most architecturally significant buildings in the downtown area."[2]
