Scottish Rite Cathedral, 14th Street and Byron Street, East Wheeling, Wheeling, WV

            Built in 1916, this Classical Revival-style building was designed by Frederick Farris, and constructed to serve as the Scottish Rite Masonic Temple for the city of Wheeling, West Virginia.  The building is clad in buff brick with a stone base, decorative stone and terra cotta trim, three-story-tall ionic colonnades at the central bays of the third, fourth, and fifth floors of the 14th Street and Byron Street facades, a brick cornice, windows at the corner bays of the south and west facades with cartouches and brick spandrels, one-over-one windows, rusticated brickwork at the first and second floors, an entrance bay on the first floor of the 14th Street facade with a trim surround, including greek key motif and a decorative hood featuring a cornice with dentils and a cartouche, a colonnade of brick piers below a gray terra cotta entablature with cartouches and an eagle sculpture above the entrance bay on the south facade, and a two-story wing to the east of the main portion of the building with doric pilasters, ionic columns, casement and Roman Lattice motif windows, and a decorative cornice.  The building is a contributing structure in the East Wheeling Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.  The building was sold to a developer in 2020, but due to financial difficulties brought on by the COVID-19 Pandemic, it was sold in a trustee’s sale back to the Scottish Rite Freemasons in 2023.
