Design by Moritz F. Straugh and built in 1921 as a Masonic temple, Stan Mansion is a beautifully restored and maintained historic building that provides an exceptional venue for special occasions, events, and functions. Located in the historic Logan Square Historic District, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Chicago, the grand mansion was built in just six months to house a chapter of the Knights Templar and remained a Masonic lodge for decades until it was purchased by Cera Stan and restored to its original splendor. Today, the mansion is a favorite wedding and event venue, combining historic elegance with modern amenities and functionality. Stan Mansion can accommodate up to 300 guests for formal and seated dinners, and up to 420 guests for cocktail receptions. Set in the heart of the Logan Square Historic District, Stan Mansion is surrounded by spectacular examples of period architecture and historic homes, as well as plenty of attractions such as Humboldt Park, the Logan Theater, the Illinois Centennial Monument, Comfort Station, Galerie F, the Logan Square Farmers Market, and the seven-acre Palmer Square Park.
