ca. 1934. Scottish Rite Cathedral. As early as 1911, interest was keen in the building of a Masonic Temple. The Scottish Rite Temple's cornerstone was laid in 1921 and construction was completed in 1922. The building was designed by the architectural firm of Sutton, Whitney and Dugan. Its style was to "follow closely the ancient architecture of King Solomon." The Independent Bible Church was formed when the Rev. Roy T. Brumbaugh split from the First Presbyterian Church, taking part of the congregation with him in 1935. They purchased the Scottish Rite Temple in 1937 and remodeled it as their church. In 1943, the congregation became the Tacoma Bible Church.

The $200,000 structure, located at Park Heights & Division Avenue overlooking Wright Park, was formally dedicated on April 7, 1922. The idea of a Masonic temple had been floated about for several years before the site on "G" St. had been purchased in June of 1919. The structure was designed by the architectural firm of Sutton, Whitney & Dugan with Albertson, Cornell Bros., and Walsh serving as contractors. It would remain a Masonic temple only until 1937 when it was sold to the Independent Bible Church and subsequently remodeled.
