This Tacoma landmark, designed by architect Ambrose J. Russell and completed during its period of significance between 1925 and 1949, originally served the local Masonic community as both a meeting hall and theater. Located at 47 St. Helens Avenue, the building exemplifies Art Deco design while drawing on Renaissance and Late 19th and 20th Century Revival styles. Known variously as the Masonic Temple Building, Temple Theater, and Helig's Theater throughout its history, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. Though Masonic lodges no longer convene there, the structure has been adapted for contemporary use as a commercial catering and convention center.
