There's some commentary here and with the focus on this article being an old empty temple. Are there a lot of these abandoned temples around? Are these fraternities in decline or something? What was the height of their popularity?
- hokumguru 7y agoHistorically the peaks of Freemasonry in America were around the time of the revolutionary war, civil war, and two world wars. Being a fraternity first and foremost - soldiers abroad found brotherhood and companionship together in freemasonry - their numbers soared around this time as new initiates joined. Since the 70's or so the fraternity has seen a steady decline of membership not to dissimilar to the decline of religious institutions.
