DESCRIPTION: This lithograph from 1865 depicts the New Masonic Temple, which was built to replace Boston’s first Masonic Temple after it was destroyed by fire. The new structure served as a prominent meeting place for the city’s Masonic community, showcasing an impressive facade and intricate architectural details that reflected the influence of Freemasonry in 19th-century Boston. Despite its substantial construction, this building too was lost to fire, leading to the completion of the current Masonic Temple in 1902. The print captures an important chapter in the city’s architectural history, preserving the memory of a structure that once stood as a symbol of fraternity and tradition.
