Summary |
In "Masonic Temples", William D. Moore introduces readers to the structures American Freemasons erected over the sixty-year period from 1870 to 1930, when these temples became a ubiquitous feature of the American landscape. As representations of King Soomon's temple in ancient Jerusalem erected in almost every Merican town and city, Masonic temples provided specially designed spaces for the enactment of this influential fraternity's secret rituals. |
