A Description of the Decorations of the Various Halls and Grand Banquet Room of the Temple (Classic Reprint) by Masonic Temple PDF Summary

Book Description: Excerpt from A Description of the Decorations of the Various Halls and Grand Banquet Room of the Temple The Masonic Temple of Philadelphia is, we believe, the largest and most costly edifice ever erected for the exclusive uses of the Masonic Fraternity. The ground on which it stands was purchased July 1, 1867, and has a frontage on four streets, - one hundred and fifty feet on Broad and Juniper Streets, respectively, and two hundred and forty-five feet on Filbert and Cuthbert Streets, - the Temple occupying the entire block. The corner-stone was laid June 24, 1868, and the Temple was completed and dedicated September 26, 1873, the cost up to that date being $1,569,092. About three hundred thousand dollars have since been expended on alterations, improvements, and decorations. It is a perfect type of Norman architecture, and was built of Quincy and Fox Island granite. In its construction and in its furnishing none but the best and most durable materials were used, and, after a lapse of thirty years, no fault has been discovered in the structure. It is a lasting monument to the Fraternity it represents. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
