el paso scottish rite temple and museum

The Scottish Rite Temple is beautiful, and to be fair I have only attended one play there. I've rated it as average, although it is anything but... The Temple is both opulent and at the same time very worn. Like the Masons who operate it (I assume they're Masons), the Temple is an institution whose time has past. And it unfortunately shows. The building would be an amazing restoration project, likely rivaling the Plaza Theater as one of the premier attractions in town if restored. It is within spitting distance of the new Southwest University Park, the home of the city's new minor league baseball team. So the location is brilliant, the structure is magnificent, but it's current use is anything but. Forgettable plays are staged here, and the tour sounds interesting, but otherwise there's little reason to come to the VERY limited times the Scottish Rite Temple is open.

The El Paso Scottish Rite offers a great historical atmosphere with a comforting feeling. Highly recommended visit!!

The building is a great piece of old world architecture. It has a beautiful lobby with gorgeous wood floors and the center piece is the definitely the theater. I highly recommend you visit this place.

I had always seen this building as a kid, now I finally visited it. It's a museum rich in early El Paso history and how the freemasons were a part of it. It houses a beautiful theatre and had very knowledgeable guides.

Yo conozco este lugar porque he ido a festivales de baile, de hecho, no sabía que era un museo. Cuando he tenido la oportunidad de estar ahí, me gusta ver la cantidad de detalles que tiene. Es un hermoso lugar, digno de ser visitado.
