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.
