| dc.description.abstract | The Temple which houses the Whidby Island Masonic Lodge # 15 is a simple structure of frame construction built in Coupeville, Washington in 1874. The Lodge, founded by some of the original settlers of what has since become known as Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve on Whidbey Island, was incorporated in 1869. Formed more than two decades before Washington was granted statehood, the Temple was built by one of its founding members, John Alexander. Over the last 132 years, the Temple has continued to serve in its original capacity, as a shelter and meeting place for members of the fraternal organization known as the Freemasons. Though modified in its original appearance, the historic structure of the building remains in tact, as do the traditions and rites practiced therein. | en_US |
