Has anyone actually been inside a Masonic lodge? Do they even exist? Yeah I've seen pictures from as late as the 1950s. But today? Invisible. Underground? Maybe. I think 'orders' such as these thrived before television. After that invention, such orgs have seemingly disappeared. Am I wrong?
I rented one after it was sold, nothing strange about the building except that the “temple” room has a ledge a step high along the sides, and a deeper raised area across from the entrance. There are two entrances in that back area, one from the hall, and one from an ante-room that had lots of closet space with hangers (for changing clothes?). there were lots of light switches in the back that controlled two different sets of lights, as well as electrical sockets placed in the floor at specific points.
The guys currently occupying the new mason hall will be part of the town parade in July with aprons and all, they seem pretty young ( all under 40). The new mason hall is in the basement of a multi-use residential/commercial building they built and own, and there is no sign saying they are there.
That said, in the 60s our town had two mason lodges, now down to one.

I've seen a bunch of them. You'll see their logo on cars every now and then too.
