The Waterloo Masonic Temple stands as a testament to the strength of Waterloo's fraternal orders and voluntary associations of the early twentieth century. It is locally significant under Criterion A as a representative of the long trend and practice of joining ""communities"" of like-minded individuals with shared common interests as membership declined in traditional family and kinship relationships. The Masons happen to claim roots in ancient times and have long-standing secretive rituals, and this temple's proximity to the Elks building just across the street invites comparison with the decidedly different roots and practices of that group. Further, the Masonic Temple is locally significant as an example of the work of a master architect, John G. Ralston, a dedicated Mason himself, who designed the building in a monumental scale replete with the appropriate embellishments and symbols in a style that could nominally be called ""Phoenician Revival."" In doing so he ensured the Masonic Temple's lasting significance to the local community. The period of significance runs from 1928, when the interior was finally completed and the public came to appreciate it as a monumental addition to the Waterloo streetscape, to 1963, the arbitrary cut-off of the National Register guidelines. The year 1928 is significant as the year the interior could be finished and the building put into service by the Masons.

This stands on top of a prominent hill and can be seen for miles around.
It is about 65 feet high and there is a spiral staircase leading up inside which can be climbed with caution, it is open at the top where there is no protection or parapet but a fantastic view.

Bonus if you can tell me roughly where I was standing to take this.
