The Madison Masonic Temple is a Freemason temple located in Madison, Wisconsin. Designed by Madison architects James R. and Edward J. Law in 1915 and redesigned after World War I in 1922, the temple was built during 1923 to 1925.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]

It is a three-story building with four colossal columns in its front facade, with its three main entrances set back from them. It is 112 by 182 feet (34 m × 55 m) in plan and has a large, 1200-plus seat auditorium in its rear section.[2]

The auditorium and other spaces are used by the public for rehearsals and performances.[2]
