The Oklahoma Grand Lodge is located at the intersection of S. Broad Street and E. Oklahoma on the eastern edge of the historic downtown area of Guthrie. This is a one and two-story building, with the northern section one-story covered with stone slabs. This section has a series of single fixed-pane windows, separated by projected semi-circular columns. The two-story south portion of the building has no windows except in the entry area. The west side of the building has a black granite block veneer.
On the black granite are five concrete frames with Masonic symbols engraved in relief. These include a trowel, two decorative plumb lines, a square and a Bible. On the northwest corner of the building is a large plaza area, which contains several dedicated benches and monuments to former Masonic leaders.
The cornerstone is a red granite stone, three feet square, which is engraved:
