About this postcard
A corner view of the Masonic Temple in Sioux City, Iowa, a large four-story brick building with white stone trim, arched second-story windows, and two square towers capped with red tile roofs flanking the main entrance. Masonic temples of this scale were common in early-20th-century Midwestern cities, combining lodge rooms, banquet halls, and street-level commercial space; Sioux City's Masonic activity dates to the mid-19th century, and its lodges erected substantial quarters downtown. The card's bright, evenly colored rendering is typical of the linen-era view.
