Masonic Temple Plans Fall Short on Exterior Tone
The Masonic temple interior plans are complete and attractive, but the exterior will be plain brick. The architect cites cost as a limit since eighty thousand dollars is too little for a large building. The committee may shift to stone where advantageous, with white stone boosting the building’s imposing appearance. The Wyoming Masonic fraternity is flourishing and could fund a handsome home.
