Egyptian Room
Our building is home to the famed Egyptian Room, adorned with masterful reliefs it is considered by many the most beautiful Masonic Lodge Room in the State of Texas and one of the most original, unique, and beautiful in the country.
The Theater
We also house a historically preserved four hundred seat vaudeville-era theater which features dozens of stunning and original one-of-a-kind theatrical backdrops, which can transport the viewer from ancient temples to medieval landscapes.
