The Scottish Rite Temple is a historic building in Mobile, Alabama. It was built in 1922 for the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. It is also known more commonly today as The Temple Downtown.
The Scottish Rite Temple was designed by local architect George Bigelow Rogers, who also did a number of other structures in the city of Mobile. Aside from being a former Masonic building, the site is also best noted for its architecture. Made in the Egyptian Revival style, the temple is actually the only intact example of the said architectural style in the city.
Today, the Scottish Rite Temple is available as a banqueting venue. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
