About the Business
The Scottish Rite Center in Portland, Oregon is an historic building constructed in 1902 solely for the use of conferring the Degrees of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. It is the oldest remaining structure in the United States made specifically for this purpose. The Center is located at SW 15th and Morrison in the Goose Hollow area of Portland. This Masonic Fraternal Order has its roots in the Degrees practiced in France during the 1800s, which were then adapted to create the current system of 32 Degrees.
At the Scottish Rite Center, visitors can experience a tour of the historical grounds, or rent the facility for events. To arrange a tour or rental, please contact the office to speak with the facilities manager.

- The Scottish Rite began in Oregon in Portland in 1870 headed by the first S.G.I.G, John C. Ainsworth, 33°. This building was built in 1902 and is one of the first building specifically designed and built for the Scottish Rite in the United States. The theatre was built for a series of 29 presentations or degrees done as a Shakespearean style moral play. Many of our prominent members of the past are the names adorning the streets of Portland. This century-old building is now referred to as the Scottish Rite Center.
