Masonic Hall (Manhattan)

Masonic Hall, located in Manhattan's Flatiron district, serves as the headquarters of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of New York. Established in 1875, the current building was completed in 1913 and features a blend of architectural styles, including Corinthian and Gothic. The Hall houses the impressive 1200-seat Grand Lodge Room and the Livingston Library, which contains a vast collection of Masonic literature.
