Benjamin This temple for the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry is one of four buildings in Duval County that reflect the Egyptian Revival style.

A pair of sculpted two-headed birds atop the main entrance and a second pair of crowned birds that guard the upper corners of the building are some of the other Egyptian motifs of the building.
