The Masonic Temple is a fascinating building with a unique set of artistic sculptures and reliefs. It was designed in 1929 and honors the Canadian Freemasons lost in the Great War. It is adorned with symbols derived from the fraternity’s links with medieval stonemasons guilds and the ideals of the Enlightenment.

In the pictures below, you can see the sculpture of two semi-naked men on the pediment with diverse animals on the coat of arms between them. Also you can see the griffon on the roof with a ferocious lion head looking down on you.
The main entrance is also well decorated with two pillars beside the door, each topped with a winged bull sculpture.
Finally, this relief caught my eye; here we have a woman playing a lyre in front of a statue of the thinker sitting on a column… very curious…
