AN EN- QUIRER

one Of terrific splendor when the entire build
ing was enveloped in fame In the rear of
the fremont Temple, Chapman Hall was also
destroyed. We notice that several Lodges of
Odd Fellows are among the sufferers. The
Library Of Oriental Lodge, No. 10, was Who'll
ly destroyed In addition to these two large
buildings, several smaller structures were
likewise demolished by the Fire King. The
total loss is estimated at $150,OOO The in
surance will fall short Of one-hals the
amount. The fremont Temple was built as
a Theatre in 1927, end continued as such un-
til 184S, when it was sold to the Free Bap-
tist Church of this city for $55. 0O0 It was
then fitted up for its present use at an extra
expense Of $25,OOO. The change of this es-
tablishment from theatre to a place of re-
ligious worship, as will be recolleoted, crea-
ted an immense amount of pioug enthusiasm
at the time. The depth of the building is
l25 feet; width in front 7S feet; width in
rear 80 feet and it covers an area of II $40
feet The audience room, or large hall, was
S8 By 80 feet, and would seat 230O persons.
Besides the greet hall, there was large
hall running over that, and three smaller
halls on the lower floor. The whole front Of
the building was occupied-the lower story
for stores, and the Offices to the attic by ar
lists, dentists, and for the storing of paint
ings
