The '''Flandreau Masonic Temple''' in [[Flandreau, South Dakota]] is a building dating mostly from 1916. It was listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 1989.  It has also been known as the '''Old Moody County Courthouse'''.<ref name=nris/>
It is "a massive two-story rectangular [[Colonial Revival architecture|Colonial Revival]] building. Rising from a poured concrete foundation, the wood frame walls are covered with stucco and encircled by a three foot high brick watertable. The temple is capped by a [[hipped roof]] covered with wood shingles. A tall brick chimney rises from the northwest (front) corner. Projecting from the center of the west (front) facade is a huge [[pediment]] supported by four [[Ionic order|Ionic]] columns."<ref name="nrhpdoc">{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=89001725}}|title=National Register of Historic Places Registration: Flandreau Masonic Temple / Old Moody County Courthouse |publisher=[[National Park Service]]|author= Gordon Jones |author2=Jim Gerlach |author3= J.

It was originally built in 1882 to serve as the county courthouse, with late-Victorian vernacular style.  It then had "a gable roof with a large gabled dormer projecting from the center of each axial facade", with gables decorated by [[bargeboards]].  It was bought by the Masonic lodge in 1916 and was damaged by fire in 1919.  Major remodeling was required, and added the Colonial Revival treatments.<ref name=nrhpdoc/>
