Project Overview
Temple Art Lofts is a mixed-use development in the heart of downtown Vallejo’s burgeoning Arts and Entertainment District. This community of artists grew out of the historic preservation and adaptive reuse of the 1917 Masonic Temple and 1872 City Hall.
Sitting vacant for years in an economically depressed city left the once-grand edifices dilapidated and inhabited by birds and pests. Now, the historic buildings are home to 29 artists live/work lofts, community art studio, grand performance hall and over 6,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space.
Temple Art Lofts has been honored with a number of awards, including a Preservation Design Award from the California Preservation Foundation and a Growing Smarter Together: Urban Design Award from the Association of Bay Area Governments.
