Project Description
The Scottish Rite Valley of Chicago is one of the appendant bodies of Freemasonry that a Master Mason may join for further exposure to the principles of Freemasonry, the oldest and largest fraternal organization in the world with more than two million members in North America.
Designed to tell the story of Freemasonry’s symbolic origins through the future of society, the interior and exterior feature traditional Masonic structures executed in a timeless and contemporary composition that incorporates traditional masonry materials like stone and brick as well as modern construction systems like precast concrete. The design elements weave together the story of Freemasonry and the Scottish Rite and interprets the history from its origins to its continued journey into the next millennium.
The heavily wooded 16-acre site is nicely landscaped for stunning views, and include a parking lot to accommodate approximately 190 vehicles.
