Excelsior Masonic Temple
The Excelsior Masonic Temple (now the Life Restoration Church) is a historic building located at 2422 West National Avenue in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Built in 1923, and designed in the Classical Revival style by architect Richard Oberst,[1] the building was originally constructed as a meeting hall for Excelsior Lodge #175 F.&A.M (a local Masonic Lodge that is no longer in existence). The building was sold by the Lodge in the 1990s,[2] and is now used by a local church.[3]
The building is deemed to be eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, but was not listed due to owner objection.[4]
