This distinctive brick building, originally constructed in 1922 for the Fern Hill Masonic Lodge, stands as a proud architectural landmark in Tacoma’s historic Fern Hill neighborhood. Designed by the renowned architectural firm of Heath, Gove & Bell, the building served as the Masonic Lodge until the 1970s and has retained much of its original charm and character over the past 98 years. Since 2003, it has been the home of Grace Community Church of Tacoma, continuing its legacy as a community hub.

Encompassing 6,642 square feet on a 11,070 square-foot lot, the two-story building offers a unique blend of historic design and modern functionality. The building retains many original architectural elements, showcasing the craftsmanship of its era, while incorporating thoughtful updates to suit contemporary needs. The first floor features an open worship area with sound booth, cry room/nursery, coat room, reading room, and separate men’s and women’s restrooms, making the space adaptable for a variety of uses. The second floor was renovated in 2003 to include a restroom and four Sunday School rooms, while a fire escape was also added for safety. A basement on the lower level contains the furnace and serves as storage.

This building shares a connection with other iconic structures designed by Heath, Gove & Bell, including the historic First Baptist Church in downtown Tacoma (now Urban Grace). The building offers ample space for both worship and community events. With its rich history and prime location, this property is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Tacoma’s architectural heritage.
