Description
This circa 1929 architectural drawing shows the south-facing facade of the Eastern Star Temple at 2719 K St. The excavation for the $100,000 structure was started in February 1928, with the laying of the cornerstone in May 1928. The Sacramento-based firm of Coffman Sahlberg Stafford Architects & Engineering was charged with its construction. The three-story structure -- with a front width of 70 feet and a depth of 145 feet -- would include a third-floor auditorium designed with Spanish Renaissance lines. A melange of pressed brick and terra cotta trim were featured in the building's exterior Italian-style motif.
