Tour the Scottish Rite Temple, enjoy a New Deal presentation, and enjoy a lite brunch reception—part of Summer of Architecture.
Guests will gather in Ashlie’s Lounge at the historic Scottish Rite Center, where they will begin with a guided tour of the landmark building, exploring its unique architecture and rich history. You do not want to miss the ICONIC drop.
Following the tour, attendees will enjoy a small brunch reception in the President’s Lounge, featuring light bites, mimosas and refreshments.
The afternoon will conclude with a fascinating presentation on the WPA and New Deal Era, offering insight into how these initiatives shaped Long Beach’s growth and built environment.
This is more than a history lesson—it’s a story of architecture, resilience, and design that still shapes our city today.
