Encyclopedia
The Masonic Temple in Port Hope, Michigan
is a building from 1867. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places
in 1987.
The building has served as the main social and public building of Port Hope. Its architecture is vernacular, with a "smattering" of Greek Revival
/Classical Revival elements.
The building eventually became the Rubicon Township Hall. Its gable-front, two-story design with simple Greek Revival elements may echo the design of an 1864 store that town founder Stafford built (but which was burned in 1902).
