Investment highlights
History: The property is the former home to the Scottish Rite Temple, an historic theatre that has been a cultural icon for nearly 170 years. Originally built in 1853 as The First Methodist Church, it is once of New Orleans’ most important Early Greek Revival buildings. In 1905, the building was purchased by the Grand Consistory of Louisiana and became home to the Freemasons of New Orleans. It was then renovated in 1910 by highly regarded local architect Sam Stone and used by the New Orleans Scottish Rite Consistory for over 100 years. In the 1970s, the annex building was added next door (621 Carondelet).
