'''The Masonic''' is the current branding of the '''Masonic Temple''' at the southeast corner of [[Palafox Place]] and [[Garden Street]].
The building was constructed in [[1897]] and was home to [[Avery Hardware]] for many years.
It was purchased in [[1999]] for $860,000 by [[Destin]] businessman [[James Richardson, Jr.]], who talked to city officials and architects about possible renovations, but no action was taken. The [[City of Pensacola]] began fining Richardson $10 a day for code violations.<ref>"Downtown landmark puts best facade forward." ''Pensacola News Journal'', February 21, 2004.</ref> It was purchased in {{date needed}} by the [[Levin Group]], made up of [[Sherrod Levin|Sherrod]], [[Harry Levin|Harry]] and [[Evan Levin]], and [[Random Acquisitions]], made up of [[Tim Hogan|Tim]] and [[Jim Hogan]].
[[As of 2008]] it is still unoccupied. Renovations are currently being performed by architect [[Carter Quina]] and [[Vision Construction]], but the owners are seeking tenants. They have listed the building for sale at $2.2 million.<ref>"Masonic work." ''Pensacola News Journal'', March 5, 2008.</ref>
