Officially: Home of The Supreme Council, 33°, Ancient & Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, Southern Jurisdiction, Washington D.C., U.S.A.
The full name of the Supreme Council is: The Supreme Council (Mother Council of the World) of the Inspectors General Knights Commander of the House of the Temple of Solomon of the Thirty-third degree of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry of the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States of America.
The House of the Temple appears in The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951). About one hour into the movie, the extraterrestrial Klaatu causes all electricity on earth to cease. A Washington, D.C., motorcycle cop appears on the corner of 16th and S streets, N.W., vainly trying to start the engine, with the House of the Temple prominently in the background.
The building is the setting for several key scenes in the novel The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown.
