Kansas City Masonic Temple



The Masonic Temple in Kansas City, Missouri is a Neo-Classical Architecture building in the Beaux-Arts architecture tradition. Designed by J.C. Sunderland, the Masonic Cornerstone was laid October 8, 1910 and the building held a public dedication ceremony on September 30, 1911.

Harry S. Truman and Bess Truman danced in the 6,600 square foot Tiffany Ballroom which prominently features plaster columns and an impressive Tiffany glass window array.
