Masonic History
Harry S Truman while president, was never too busy to go out of his way to render a Masonic service. His capitular degrees of the Royal Arch were received at 903 Harrison in Orient Chapter No. 102 on Nov. 11 and 15, 1919; the Cryptic degrees of Royal & Select Masters in Shekinah Council No. 24 on Dec. 18, 1919. Harry and Bess Truman also danced in the 6,600 square foot Tiffany Ballroom which prominently features plaster columns and an impressive Tiffany glass window array that is a once in a lifetime must see.

Design History
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. The Kansas City Masonic Temple was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 and as a film location with the Missouri Film Commission in 2013. A restoration project was launched in 2017 to restore and preserve the building for future generations.
