Temple Saint Paul Est. Prior to 1930
Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States
The Masonic Lodge was active until from 1923-1985. Laura and Wayne Hlavac purchased the building a decade later from previous owners, who left the building untouched, with the intention of merging their business and home life under one unconventional roof. The building served as the headquarters of their apparel business as well as their home, where they raised three children. Now, Faith Hlavac, their second child, is paving the way for the building's next life as an event space. She and her family believe its time to share their beloved home with their community so all can enjoy its beauty, mystery and magic.
