Summary
As a reflection of architect John Latenser, Sr.'s mastery of the refined Neoclassical Revival style, the Scottish Rite Cathedral figures prominently in the social/fraternal history of Omaha during the early 20th century. Latenser was quite prolific throughout Nebraska and Iowa as an architect of cultural, public, and educational buildings. With its simple, refined detailing and Ionic columns, which are significant in the symbolism of Freemasony, this building was well suited to house an organization of which many of Omaha's community and business leaders were members.
