The Masonic Temple symbol of the square and compass with a letter G inside a cartouche sits squarely above the entrance at the center of the Federal Style building. Its plainer surfaces with attenuated detail isolated in panels, tablets and friezes were influenced by the archaeological diggings in Pompeii and Herculaneum. The Masonic Temple and Scottish Rite Cathedral stands across the Roman Catholic Church in High American Neoclassical Style counterpointed against the Neoclassical Mudejar Style of the church.
