Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania
Called an on-line guided tour, this web site shows you room by room through a lavish temple of freemasonry. There are photographs, descriptions, virtual reality panoramas, even music. Try to find the Masonic apron of Brother George Washington (yes, that George Washington) — it’s in the building.

The Pennsylvania lodge is a nice counterpoint to the Comet Masonic Temple in Barcaldine in outback Queensland. I once wrote a magazine article about it.
