Unlike the days of old when only initiated members were allowed inside its hallowed halls, the Grand Lodge of Free & Accepted Masons of the State of New York has increasingly cast away its veils of secrecy and opened its doors to the public. They even do tours. Here’s what the inside of the fraternal organization that’s either actively plotting world domination or more likely, throwing bake sales, looks like. Novus ordo seclorum! Check back every Friday for a new photo essay.

Someone doesn't know how to hold a camera straight.
Gay camera holding is hip, ya bored troll.

Been there many times and I always find some point of interest I have never seen before. I will be there in May for Grand Lodge Session and hopefully will see some more. It's not spooky at all. The building has a rich history as do other Masonic related buildings. You should have a look at the Level Club, once a Masonic hotel completed months before the Great Depression, now it's a high end apartments. There are quite a few other built and have been converted to public use.
