Built as the Temple Theatre in 1923, the Mother Lode has emerged, after a $3 million dollar renovation, as an opulent and fully equipped performing arts center. In 1923 the Masonic Bodies built a six-story Masonic Temple and an adjoining 1,200-seat ornate Temple Theatre in which to conduct their ceremonial services. With the Great Depression a decade later, the Masons found it necessary to convert The Temple Theatre into a movie house, thus the Temple Theatre became the Fox Theatre. In 1996, the reconstructed theatre was named The Mother Lode to reflect Butte's mining heritage as the ‘Richest Hill on Earth.
