Interesting topic indeed. In Chicago, there are a few abandoned Temples throughout the city. It's been hard to not notice them as a Brother and wonder about their history.
A few are sitting as skeletons with designations of historical landmark buildings. But a couple have been repurposed for other organizations to make use.

Intriguing! Not hard to imagine how a bank acquired the bldg from the Brothers.

it's intriguing how those building once housed prominent Master Masons, and probably had a lot of knowledge and Wisdom, It also reflects that we as Master Masons need to embrace our heritage and preserve our past....
