Scottish Rite Temple, Peoria, IL.
According to the Scottish Rite - Valley of Peoria website:
On May 7, 1924, during the Spring Reunion, the cornerstone of the present home for the Scottish Rite Bodies was laid. The ceremony was conducted ...by Arthur E. Wood, Grand Master of Illinois, and his corps of officers.
The project was the culmination of a long-planning search by Edward Ulysses Henry for a temple design worthy of the Scottish Rite Bodies of Peoria. He finally found his inspiration in Scotland, and endowed the new building with many of the ideas and features he admired there and found suitable.
Flying buttresses and the beautiful, symbolic stained glass windows became the distinguishing features, and add much to the architectural beauty of the building. The Scottish Rite Bodies of Peoria are proud to be a part of this great community. The current membership for our Valley is approximately 2,100 members.
