The Building

Renovated in 2011, the Kenton Masonic Temple stands as one of the few remaining Portland Masonic buildings that is still for Masonic use. It serves as an anchor point for the Kenton neighborhood and is home to various shops such as Kenton Cycle Repair, Soul River Runs Deep, Comic Cave PDX and Bart's Barbershop.

The temple is also home to other organizations such as the Portland Unity Zikr, Enneadic Star Pronaos (AMORC), Friendship Masonic Lodge No. 160, and Bethel #4 of Job's Daughters.

The building is also available for events and other meetings on a limited basis. Contact us for rates and available dates.

  • The grand object of Masonry is to promote the happiness of the human race.- George Washington
  • Freemasonry is an institution calculated to benefit mankind.- Andrew Jackson
  • Freemasonry is ‘veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols’ because these are the surest way by which moral and ethical truths may be taught. It is not only with the brain and with the mind that the initiate must take Freemasonry but also with the heart.- Carl Claudy
