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.
