The
Masonic Temple

This distinctive landmark was built in 1913 as the local Masonic Temple. The laying of its cornerstone in the June of that year was cause for many festivities. The building was designed by Detroit architect F.H. Spier and built by Henry Vanderhorst. Into its bulk were installed 3 auditoriums, office space, and ground level shops. The building declined when it was sold by the Masons in the early 1970's. It stood vacant and threatened by demolition. In 1988 it was given a new lease on life as The Rose Street Market. |
