In the early years of freemasonry, from the 17th through the 18th centuries it was the most common for Masonic Lodges to form Masonic Temples either in private homes, the private rooms of public taverns or halls which could regularly rented out for Masonic purposes. This was less than ideal, however; meeting in public spaces required the transportation, set-up and dismantling of increasingly elaborate paraphernalia every time the Lodge met. Lodges began to look for permanent facilities, dedicated purely to Masonic use. A Masonic Temple is, within freemasonry, the room or edifice where a Masonic Lodge meets.
