The layout of each of the "lodge halls" is the same as far as the seating for people holding position within the lodge and some of the symbolic items (like the placement of "torches", seals, and other symbols in the room). There are 6 lodge halls in the Philadelphia Temple; we visited 5 of them.

Very ornate, felt rich. I might not know how to sit properly. It's lovely, tho.
ReplyDeleteIt's all beautiful, I wondered about the egyptian artwork though.
ReplyDeleteWow, so much stunning architecture! Years ago I work in an 1800's building owned by the International Order of Odd Fellows in Portland OR. It had the year built stamped in the corner, and while it had been modernized into Independent Senior Apartments, it still had certain elements of the original architecture in the common areas.
ReplyDeleteThe Egyptian rooms is amazing. I didn't realise.
