Located in Wichita, Kansas, the Scottish Rite Center is a historic Romanesque Revival structure originally built in 1887–1888 as a YMCA facility. Designed by the local architectural firm Proudfoot & Bird, the stone building exemplifies Richardsonian Romanesque style. The Scottish Rite Freemasons purchased the structure in 1898, transforming it into their temple. The building underwent significant expansions in 1907, when architect C.W. Terry added an elegant north wing, and again in 1956. Now serving as a multipurpose hall and Masonic temple, it was recognized for its historic significance when listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 and on the Register of Historic Kansas Places.
