Iemplar In 1892 OIL the usual big scale of West
ern cities, the new Masonic Temple recently
erected in that city being one of the most note
worthy homes of Masonry in the country There
are feW which surpass 1T in beauty and elegance,
and 1t is doubtful if there are any which excel it
In the convenience of arrangement and the
quiet elegance which the exercise of rare good
taste in its building has secured. The building
is seven stories in height, the ground area being
100 by l2O feet. The foundation and first story
are OF granite, the remaining stories being built
OF Colorado red sandstone. The general design
is combination of all the recent adoptions, the

IRENE. The four upper stories are devoted to
the use OF the fraternity, the three lower floors
being used for business purposes. The Anleri-
can Iyler of July published handsome en-
craving of the new edifce, and in striking con-
