The Masonic Temple building was constructed around 1917 by the Masons who used primarily the third and forth floors for their activities. The ground level of the building contains retail and banking space. The 6,000 square foot space at the corner of Marin and Virginia Streets was formerly occupied by Bayview Federal Bank and Independence Savings and still has a vault, safety deposit boxes and a night deposit box. This space is being renovated and will be ready for commercial rental in September 2004. On the second  and fourth level is a variety of office spaces and studios.

The grand entrance has a mahogany stairway leading to the third floor which contains three large spacious rooms used for performing arts, exhibitions, weddings, banquets and concerts.

A full size 16 by 26 foot commercial kitchen can be used for food preparations or catering for events.

During various remodeling projects from 1994 through 1999, the building was retrofitted for earthquake protection and a new centralized fire alarm system and electrical system was installed.

A second building, which is part of the property and shares a common wall with the old Masonic Temple is the old City Hall building. It was constructed around 1874 and included the city jail. It contains two floors of approximately 3,000 square feet plus a full basement with a separate entrance to the alley. These two buildings cover the entire site.

There is ample free street parking that includes a large public parking lot on the Virginia Street side.
The frontage on Virginia and Marin measures 100 by 130 feet. There is approximately 45,000 square feet of usable space in the building.
