The House of the Historic Foundation's purpose is to protect, preserve, maintain, and restore the House of the Temple located in Washington, D.C. The House of the Temple serves as the headquarters for the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, Southern Jurisdiction, U.S.A. Located within the House of the Temple are the museum, archives, and library. The museum has been open to the public since 1915 and houses many unique and important exhibits. These artifacts and important documents have been, and will always be, open and free to the public. They cast important light on significant individuals and events in American history. The building was designed by the famous architect John Russell Pope. The House of the Temple was his first monumental commission. It garnered him the attention of the architectural community, leading to many awards and commissions in the District, such as the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, National Archives, and the National Gallery of Art-West Building. The building's design was widely praised by contemporary architects, and it won John Russell Pope the Gold Medal of the Architectural League of New York in 1917. Fiske Kimball's 1928 book American Architecture describes it as "an example of the triumph of classical form in America". In the 1920s, a panel of architects named it "one of the three best public buildings" in the United States, along with the Nebraska State Capitol and the Pan-American Union headquarters building in Washington, D.C. In 1932, it was ranked as one of the ten top buildings in the country in a poll of federal government architects. The House of the Temple is designated as a contributing property to the Sixteenth Street Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The Temple's Library is the first free library opened in the District of Columbia and remains so today. It contains books on Freemasonry, including history, philosophy, symbolism, poetry, lodge proceedings, and periodicals. Because of its historical value, researchers from around the globe request access to the library. The Archives are the repository of the official records of the Scottish Rite. They house the original documents dealing with our founding, rituals, and current domestic and international affairs. Two main storage areas comprise the Archives. They are not generally open to the public. Because Freemasons assisted in the foundation of our Republic, including many signers of the Declaration of Independence, the writing of the Constitution, and a number of Presidents including George Washington and Franklin Roosevelt, the value of the Archives in explaining the philosophy and purposes of the Masonic Order is very significant. The Temple is currently undergoing a capital improvement project. One of the main focuses is to improve safety, such as a new railing outside, new windows and improvement to the facade, and installing an elevator to meet ADA compliance. Ensuring this building is here for many generations to enjoy will rely on the generosity of many.
