List of former Masonic buildings in the United States

List of former Masonic buildings in the United States identifies notable buildings in the United States that have been associated with various Masonic bodies, but have been re-purposed for non-Masonic use.

Many of these buildings were constructed to be (at least in part) meeting halls for Masonic lodges, Grand Lodges, or other related organizations. Others were constructed for other purposes, and subsequently purchased by the Masons and converted into meeting halls. All have subsequently been sold, and have been converted to non-Masonic use.

All of the buildings listed here are notable landmarks. Most are listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), although a few are landmarked by State or City agencies. Where the commonly used name of the building has changed since it was granted landmark status, the "listed as" name is given along with the landmarking agency.

For a list of notable buildings that are now used for Masonic purposes, see: List of Masonic buildings in the United States.
