Silver City, Idaho
Built as a planing mill, the Masonic Hall became one of the local centers for entertainment in Silver City. Locals started using the hall's second floor in the late 1860's.
The Sydney Masonic Centre; one of Australia’s great Brutalist masterpieces.
Designed by Joseland Gilling and constructed between 1975-9 (with a tower completed in 2004), the SMC stands audaciously on the corner of Sydney’s Castlereagh and Goulburn Streets with not a care in the world. For many years, the SMC fronted the public with a barren concrete façade, but a glazed-in cafeteria was added later to soften the building at street level.

Sutton Masonic Hall was built in 1897 by a group of local Freemasons. During the Second World War the Hall was requisitioned by the military for 2 years and was used as a 'rest centre' and 'temporary shelter' by families displaced from their homes. It was returned to the owners in 1947.

This 1890 Romanesque Revival style building, located at the corner of 16th and Welton streets, served for many years as a center of activities for the Masonic Order in Colorado. As one of downtown Denver's few surviving examples of the use of rockfaced Manitou sandstone as a building material, its warm red-orange walls provide an interesting contrast with the cool grey stone of the adjacent Kittredge Building. Denver architect Frank E. Edbrooke's design for the five-story Masonic Temple Building incorporated numerous semicircular arches and intricately carved detailing. After a 1984 fire nearly destroyed the building, its walls were reinforced with a steel frame.

The Masonic Lodge building in Levuka, Fiji, dates from 1913. In July 2000 it was burned by a frenzied mob which had been told by superstitious preachers that it was a center of devil worship.
After 10 days of following the Mississippi River, I returned to a Bay Area shrouded in smoke. It's difficult to know what is more heart-wrenching, the rapid, devastating impact of a critical event or the long, interminable destruction caused by decay and disinvestment. Maybe they're both worth our attention in their own way. I don't know how to help in either case, other than to document, analyze, or understand what's there. Sometimes, it's all beyond understanding, and the best we can hope for is living as best we can, good and responsible citizens, helping fellow humankind in their time of need. Pictured is a Masonic Hall in Mississippi, long left for fallow, but once a social center for thousands of families. These are teaching times.

This old Masonic Temple is a gutted out shell of its former glory, though it still has a stark beauty, If you look at the chimney you can see the Masonic Symbol

Masonic temple in the south side of Chicago. This Englewood temple had been abandoned almost 30 years. There has been recent retail development around 63rd and Halsted. Englewood was once a thriving area with a Sears and many stores, theaters and restaurants. Around the late 60's many stores closed and the area quickly went into decline. Now a Whole Food grocery store and other businesses have been built on what was vacant land
