Masonic Temple / Siloam Reformed Church
32-25 Bell Boulevard
Bayside (Queens), N.Y. 11691
The Masonic Temple on Bell Boulevard in Bayside was designed by
Herbert O. Wiegand. Completed in 1923, the building was originally
home of Bayside Lodge No. 999.
At an unknown time, the building was sold to Elim Presbyterian
Church; it later became home to The Siloam Reformed Church
of New York, a Korean congregation. |
