Alee Temple, Ancient Arabic order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, was organized on June 23rd, 1896, pursuant to a dispensation granted by the Imperial Council in session at Cleveland, Ohio. It was the 74th Temple created by the parent body. In the field of “worldly goods,” the organization has lived through good times and bad, acquiring property, selling property and acquiring again. Prior to 1920 the Temple meetings were held in the Masonic Temple at Liberty and Whitaker Streets and in the Guards Hall at Bull and Charlton Streets. In 1921, a home at 429 Bull Street was purchased and occupied.

Alee purchased the present location at 100 Eisenberg Drive in 1966. The site presently holds the Mosque/Ballroom, an Arena, the Bill Porter Room, and the Woody Dyches Building. In addition, the Lewis Building hosts 10 meeting rooms and they built a 10-stall garage. In recent years, Alee Shriners added a building for a permanent home for our community's popular Haunted House. The current membership is 1285, they have countless active patients: at Shriners Children’s: Florida, Greenville SC, Dayton Ohio, Philadelphia and Pennsylvania. Alee Shriners transport many families each month in their Shriners Children’s Vans. They donate over $400,000 annually to Shriners Children’s and hope every year to surpass the previous year.

For the past 126 years, the Alee Shriners have worked tirelessly to volunteer their time and resources to help those in need, specifically children. Their Haunted House is the largest fundraiser every year bringing in over $100,000 every year.
