At first glance, the ceiling of the lobby appears to be covered in tile mosaics. Upon closer inspection, and a zoom lens, everything is actually hand painted.

Unlike all of the other temples in this building, this one has a marble covered altar. The most ornate of the temples, this is where Grand Lodge elections take place.

Each temple has a pipe organ in the west. Due to the height of the pipes, each room is two stories tall. Each room is also VERY stuffy and hot. Built in 1910, there's no air conditioning in the building...
