The Masonic Temple is a historic Masonic Lodge and office building located at Shelby, Cleveland County, North Carolina. It was built in 1924–1925, and is a four-story, rectangular, brushed brick building. It is in the Egyptian Revival style with massive concrete lintels at the first story, robust lotiform pillars at the building's principal entrance, and a richly ornamented cornice frieze. It was commissioned by the Cleveland Lodge of the Ancient, Free, and Accepted Masons of North Carolina.[1] Today, no Masonic lodges meet in the building.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It is located in the Central Shelby Historic District.
