411 St. Clair Avenue

 

 

The Masonic Temple, 411 St. Clair Avenue, Sheboygan, was built in 1929 on the site of the former Frank Roenitz property for $175,000.00. Tudor Gothic in style, it is built of Bedford stone with leaded glass windows. A. R. Clas of Chicago was the architect. The floors are of travertine marble. The walls seem to be, too, but they are, in fact, a work of trompe l'oeil, or a process done to fool the eye. This building is a truly unique and outstanding architectural gem.
