The land the Scottish Rite Temple was purchased for $17,000 on September 16, 1913. The building measures approximately 133 feet by 111 feet and surprisingly, only cost $186,477.28 to construct. It houses a three-story theater, library, and kitchen among other rooms. In 2008, Director Oliver Stone used the Scottish Rite to portray the White House in the movie W starring Josh Brolin. The portrayal of George W. Bush's life was only in production for 46 days and was filmed sequentially, which is extremely unusual. The building was also seen in Kevin Costner's film, Mr. Brooks as the site of the "Man of the Year Banquet."
