Inside The Masonic Temple, Which Is On The Market For $6 Million
Owners of the New Masonic Temple on Lindell Boulevard in Midtown St. Louis hope the New Year brings renewed interest in the building, which is for sale. Building manager John Vollman has spent years volunteering at the space.
“It’s a pleasure to come in here most days. You just feel the history,” said Vollman.
In December, the Masons announced their intention to sell the structure for $6 million. Although the building was dedicated in 1926, parts of it remain unfinished. Scott Martin of Hilliker Corp. represents the Masons in the sale. According to Martin, the Masons’ goal is to downsize and dedicate more resources to the less fortunate.
“As I understand it they would like to have more money to do their charitable work,” said Martin. That work is important, for according to momasons.org, the Masonic fraternity is a social organization that emphasizes “personal study, self-improvement, and social betterment via individual involvement and philanthropy.”
