Classical Revival Style

Classical Revival style buildings were favored by many social clubs in the early 20th century. The Classic Revival style returned to the traditional elements of columns, pediments and entablatures but applied them to monumental buildings of comparatively severe design. The Scottish Rite Cathedral, at 3633 Lindell Boulevard, was built in 1924 from plans by William B. Ittner. The limestone building has massive, smooth wall surfaces broken only by string courses and a range of Ionic columns centered on the primary facade. Windows are deeply recessed into the facade.
