The Masonic Temple Building was dedicated on April 15, 1910 and still serves as the home of Eden Lodge #113 of the Freemasons. The Eden Lodge was instituted in San Leandro in 1857, the first fraternal order established here. This three-story two-part commercial block building has an asymmetrical design and a rounded corner that serves as the building’s focal point. It is an example of a historic Masonic Temple and of commercial architecture in downtown San Leandro.
Fraternal organizations such as the Freemasons, Odd Fellows, and the Portuguese Union (U.P.E.C.) were established early in San Leandro, Leaders in these organizations were often also the civic and business leaders of San Leandro.
One popular tenant of this building was the Hirschman Creamery and Candy Store, which occupied the East 14th Street storefront in the early years of the 20th century.
