EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the grandeur of the Masonic Temple in Chicago. Built between 1891 and 1892 by renowned architects Daniel H. Burnham and John W. Root, this architectural masterpiece stands tall as a testament to their vision and skill. The image captures the temple's impressive exterior, with its intricate details and towering presence dominating the cityscape. The turn-of-the-century charm is evident in every element, from the electric power lines crisscrossing above to the telephone wires connecting this hub of activity. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era when skyscrapers were still a novelty and electricity was revolutionizing urban life. The bustling street below is filled with people going about their daily routines, unaware that they are witnessing history being made. The Masonic Temple served as a gathering place for Freemasons, providing them with a space for meetings, rituals, and camaraderie. Its significance extends beyond its architectural beauty; it represents a community united by shared values and traditions. This stereograph from 1909 offers us a glimpse into Chicago's early days as a thriving metropolis on the rise. It reminds us of our rich heritage while also inspiring us to appreciate the timeless allure of magnificent structures like the Masonic Temple.
