The House of the Temple Historic Preservation Foundation, Inc., was created to maintain, support, and enhance the House of the Temple as an architectural landmark and as the national headquarters of the Scottish Rite, Southern Jurisdiction of Freemasonry. The Temple’s libraries and museums house extensive antique book and artifact collections, many of which need specialized attention in order to ensure preservation. It is our duty and goal to ensure that these treasures last for generations to come, and that through them and our magnificent headquarters, our history is preserved, values communicated, and legacy remains eternal.
