Agreed! This is one of the prettiest pieces I've seen, and to think it is (currently) still intact just amazes me and makes me think along the same lines - that it is a magnet to knuckleheads. Yes, I will hope that they get a small sliver that makes them uncomfortable for years to come.

let's hope that if some vandals chuck rocks at it it'll at least fall in on their heads.

This room is so thought provoking!
I really am beginning to think the room IS still used. It would explain why this place is so difficult to get into even though it is in the a ridiculously rural area

That design on the floor makes me think of the Pittsburgh Steelers logo.

Any info on the architect. That might be the only reason for the Masonic symbolism. Even the pyramid (of tables) hints at Free Masonry.

There were medical files left there? That would be most interesting. .. and probably unethical. Might give some clue to the age.

I do agree with you for the most part, especially in regards to the fact that this follows guidelines for a masonic temple. But as a true agnostic, I can't ignore the fact that ANYTHING is possible and I can't dismiss the possibility, no matter how small, that this was just a treat for the architect(but I would bet against it if I were a betting man). You have alot of really good ideas and after reading your input I did as much research on the Freemasons as I could, and I agree that this room was almost deffinatly created for masonic reasons.

As I studied this photo more, I love the green of the ceiling. But other than that, this is one of the strangest things I have ever seen. Shredded paper all over the floor? Stacked tables in a pyramid form? One deep blue curtain left? One table left unstacked with four chairs around it as if some friends just met there? Its so weird.
