Scottish Rite Hall

Post by DTmatt »

Not sure if there was a topic about this, but the Scottish Rite Hall on 20th and Douglas recently installed a nice little mural and garden between it's building and the Douglas Street parking garage. Adds a nice little something to an area that used to just be a patch of grass.

I had no idea there was what looks like a really cool theater in this building. I saw a concert was going to be here coming up and had no clue.

Saw he was playing here and I had no idea they had this space in the building. I am a fan of Snider and this would be a really unique setting to see him so thinking about it.

Wow, that's beautiful. We looked at the building as a wedding reception venue, but had no clue this was in the building too.

I heard an organ recital there once. That building is also where I was initiated into the Masonry, at my dad's urging.

Yeah I’m a huge Snider fan but have to be out of town that weekend. Will be an incredible concert.

IIRC, the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry teach its "craft" via a series of plays. So, most Scottish Rite buildings have some sort of stage/theater set-up. This one is particularly nice.
