The Scottish Rite – Southern Jurisdiction of the USA lanches campaign for maintenance of the Temple

(...) As our fraternity quickly approaches the centennial anniversary of our magnificent headquarters of the Southern Jurisdiction of Freemasonry, The House of the Temple, I am pleased to announce the launch of the “Rebuilding the Temple” campaign.
Since opening to the public in 1915, millions of our brethren and visitors have come to the Temple, located in the heart of Washington, DC, to view our ceremonial rooms, treasured symbols, ancient books, and prized artifacts.
While still a site to behold, The House of the Temple has had few structural improvements since its completion, and it is our duty to prioritize the preservation and promotion of our headquarters and our efforts to make it a national Masonic center in Washington, DC for both our Masonic brethren as well as the general public.
