Ground was broken in April 1906, and the cornerstone was laid in March 1907. The temple was dedicated in April 1913. Architects Herb Miller Greene and J. B. Hubble designed this Neo-classical structure. This building is recognized as a Dallas landmark and a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark. A historical marker for the temple was erected in 1978 by the Texas Historical Commission. The Dallas Scottish Rite Temple stands as an example of early 20th-century Beaux Arts Classical architecture in Texas. It remains a significant historical landmark in downtown Dallas.
