The Masonic Temple, also known as Masonic Temple-Watts, Ritter, Wholesale Drygoods Company Building and River Towers, is a historic commercial building located at 1100-1108 E.

The building is constructed of steel-reinforced concrete with yellow and orange brick facing and white terra cotta trim. A five story annex was built on the east side of the original building in 1922. Two additional stories were added to the annex in 1926.
