Hollywood Masonic Temple

The Hollywood Masonic Temple, known as the El Capitan Entertainment Centre and previously known as Masonic Convention Hall, is a building on Hollywood Boulevard in the Hollywood neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, U.S., that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. Built

in 1921, the Masons operated the temple until 1982, when they sold the building after several years of declining membership. The building was then converted into a theater and nightclub, and ownership subsequently changed several times, until it was bought by the Walt Disney Company's Buena Vista Pictures in 1998. Since 2003, the building's theater has been the home to the Disney ABC television program Jimmy Kimmel Live!
