As is generally the case with historic buildings in Duluth, zenithcity.com has a page about the Masonic Temple.

What can I add? Well ...

* This lodge is the headquarters for numerous Freemasonry organizations, but I couldn't name any of them. 

* The Scottish Rite Auditorium is totally sweet and must have about 350 seats.

* The auditorium hosted vaudeville shows a century ago. These days it hosts Wise Fool Shakespeare productions.

* The auditorium's walls feature hieroglyphics painted on linen back in 1904. They depict a man's life from birth to judgement day, taken from the Egyptian Book of the Dead.

* The stage still has its original hand-painted watercolor backdrops used for the performance of the Degrees, a series of 29 morality plays illustrating the masons' beliefs about proper behavior. 

* The Scottish Rite Auditorium is the only mason theater in the United States with its backdrops intact.

* The stage still has its original footlights. Some lamps in the seating area still run on gas.  

* No booze allowed.

It slipped my mind that there is a PDD post in which the architectural work of J. J. Wangenstein was covered.
