Completed in 1853, as the First United Methodist Church of New Orleans, this building was purchased by The Grand Consistory of Louisiana on May 1, 1905, for the sum of $28,500. The structure was declared a "Cathedral of the Scottish Rite." Shortly after the purchase, the beautiful stained-glass window that adorns the front of this structure was installed by the "Lips Family," a noted local family of glass workers and Freemasons.

Since the purchase of the building, the New Orleans Scottish Valley has made many renovations, including a new kitchen, restroom facilities, a grand library.
