Fort Collins Masonic Temple

Larimer County

The 1927 Masonic Temple is the work of an important Colorado artisan-architect William N. Bowman.  Bowman designed in a variety of styles, but most often favored revivalism, including Classical Revival, Neoclassical and the Beaux-Arts styles.

Working out of a Denver office, he designed buildings across the state, including the Weld County Courthouse in Greeley and the Jackson County Courthouse in Walden.  The Fort Collins Masonic Temple is a dignified example of Classical Revival architecture well suited for the use and traditions of a Masonic lodge.
