The SF Masonic Auditorium sits at the top of Taylor Street on Nob Hill. The building was designed by Bay Area architect Albert Roller and opened in 1958. On the front of the building there is a large frieze by Emile Norman bearing the inscription "Dedicated to our Masonic Brethren who died in the cause of freedom", depicting stylized servicemen from each of the four branches of the Armed Services, and a global tug of war representing global struggles. Inside the lobby is a huge mosaic window also designed by Emile Norman. The window depicts a variety of natural and Masonic themes. It contains gravel and soil from each of the 58 counties in California.
