Fun Facts

Constructed in 1909, the building served as a meeting place for the Freemasons before being transformed into a cultural venue.

The building is an exquisite example of the Classical Revival style, featuring grand columns and intricate stonework.

It hosts a diverse range of events, from concerts and Broadway shows to community gatherings, making it a cultural hub in the city.

The venue includes the Murat Theatre, the Egyptian Room, and the Deluxe, each offering unique atmospheres for different types of events.

The name 'Murat' is derived from the Murat Shriners, a Masonic organization that originally used the building.
