Sioux City History & Culture by Bicycle Part 19: Masonic Temple

The Masonic Temple is located on Nebraska St, just north of downtown at 9th st.

The temple currently houses the Abu Bekr Shrine, The Sioux City York Rite bodies & Tyrian Lodge #508. There is also a Masonic Museum in the building. A lot of the rooms used for the York Rite, Tyrian Lodge & the Shrine are beautiful. One in particular is called the Egypt Room. It is adorned with a star painted ceiling & Egyption Motif on the walls.

I do believe tours of the building are available if you call ahead to arrange one.

Here is a web site with contact info.
Siouxland Freemasonry

Shown are pictures of the building itself. But I also took pictures of looking north toward the old Central High School, which I will post about next. I also took pics. of the skyline of the Woodbury County Courthouse & City Hall as well as a pic. looking south into downtown Sioux City.
