Scope and content
Interior view of the Scottish Rite Cathedral, 5 South "G" St. prior to its dedication in April of 1922. This photograph of the richly elaborate interior was one of those selected to be printed in the Tacoma Daily Ledger's article of April 7, 1922. 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.
