Regarding The Masonic Temple. Masonry is the world’s first and largest fraternal organization. The Masons operated the temple until 1982, when they sold the building after several years of declining membership. In 1998, Disney’s Buena Vista Pictures purchased the Masonic Temple to use it as a promotional venue for its movie premieres at their El Capitan Theatre next door. Since 2003, the building's theater has been the home of ABC's late-night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live.
