The Albany Masonic Temple stands on the corner of Corning and Lodge Street. The temple stands within sight of the New York State Capitol building.
The Albany Temple is built on the same site, where, on May 12th, 1768, the cornerstone was laid for the first lodge house built and owned by a Masonic lodge in North America. (Master's Lodge No.5)
Since that time, this property has remained continuously vested in the hands of the Masonic Fraternity, the oldest such property known to exist in the world.
