Located at 5418 West Gale Street, the Jefferson Park Masonic Temple has been home to St. Bernard Commandery No. 35 since December 2006. The cornerstone was laid 13 September 1912, and the temple was dedicated 4 January 1913.[1] In the first photograph to the left (facing East), the asylum is configured as a hall for a convocation of a lodge of either Mark Masters, Past Masters, or Most Excellent Masters. In the second photograph (facing West), the asylum is configured as a hall for an assembly of a council of Royal and Select Masters. Photographs of the asylum properly configured for a convocation of a commandery of Knights Templar will be posted soon. Click here to see the exterior of Jefferson Park Masonic Temple.
