Ahh, now that comment makes a little more sense (scarlett77) than the possibility of it being used as a temple.

As far as I know, masons just needed to believe in the existence and honor 'God'. While many of them may have been following the christian cult or the likes, it wasn't particular to Jesus or neccessarily his 'Father'.

I was also under the impression that the meeting rooms that people are alluding to were required to have no windows?

That is a Star of David in the center of the stained glass skylight. This is likely a Jewish Temple.

This reminds me of the scene in the movie Poltergeist when the chairs stack up on the kitchen table. What a beautiful dome and lower windows. Love this picture!

Maybe they had to stack the table to stay above the shredder pile?

In physical therapy we call it a tilt table. The patient is supine and strapped in. We turn a crank (or its electric) and the table begins to "tilt" upward towards a standing position. It is a good way for those with low blood pressure and other problems to gradually get used to being upright rather than stand them up all at once. I used one the other day with an amputee with low blood pressure. He only got to about 65 degrees. The straps are merely for the patients comfort so that he/she doesn't slide sown or wieght bear too much all at once when we are cranking them to a stand.
I didn't particularly like being restrained in restraints quite similar to this

Although I doubt it is a place that was used by the Mason's (and I could be wrong, who knows??), I would not be suprised if perhaps the architect was a Mason.

Breathtaking room. Just beautiful.
As the daughter of a Master Mason, and having spent much of my youth in Job's Daughter's (Masonic organization for young women.) I have spent a lot of time in Masonic temples. I really don't see much that would indicate this was Masonic. And, if this room is on the first floor, then it most certainly NOT a Masonic meeting room. (All Masonic temples have their meeting rooms on the 2nd floor. The reasoning behind this dates back to the betrayal and fall of the Knights Templar's)
And Silkster, you are indeed right that the Star of David is not a Jewish symbol within the language of Freemasonry.
PS- " Oh Lord, My God, is there no help for the widow's son?" is given in conjunction with a hand gesture to indicate a Mason is in distress.
