Masonic Temple
301 West Cordova Street
Architect N.S. Hoffar was responsible for designing a number of
buildings like this one in Gastown at the turn-of-the-century. The
Masonic Grand Lodge and other shops and offices rented rooms in
this building. When it was built in 1888, an elaborate cornice wrapped
around the Masonic Temple's roofline. Like the cornice that once
decorated the Horne Block next door, this one deteriorated and was
removed for safety.
