"Built in 1906, the Masonic Temple originally housed the Tanana Commercial Company, Miners and Outfitters. At this time the two-story building had a low gabled roof and horizontal plank siding. In 1908 the Tanana Commercial Company moved next door and the Masons purchased the building. The Masons enlarged the building in the back -by 20 meters, giving it the overall shape it shows today. Further changes occurred in 1913 when the entire building was raised, providing a seven-foot basement ceiling, and in 1916 when the present facade was constructed. The general appearance of the building has not changed appreciably since that time." - from National Register Nomination form
