Grand Masonic Temple
A grand neoclassical building atop Snow Mountain. Once a symbol of Americo-Liberian elite power, it remains imposing despite wartime damage.
The Grand Masonic Temple was built in the 1960s on Snow Mountain, beside the Ducor Hotel. Its massive neoclassical colonnade dominates the building. The Freemasons were closely tied to the Americo-Liberian ruling class in Liberia’s history. After the 1980 coup, the temple was damaged. During the civil war, it became a shelter for refugees, and parts of it have been restored in recent years. Visitors can usually only view and photograph it from the outside. It can be visited together with the Ducor Hotel ruins.
