Jack White Saves Detroit Masonic Temple from Foreclosure

[Julian the Apostate]

Jack White** has been outed as the anonymous donor who paid the $142,000 in taxes needed by Detroit's Masonic Temple to stave off foreclosure, the Detroit Free Press reports today. The Temple's Cathedral Theater will be renamed the Jack White Theater in the rocker's honor.

Largest Masonic building in the world, not counting the Great Pyramid

The Detroit Masonic Temple is the world's largest Masonic Temple.[1] Located in the Cass Corridor of Detroit, Michigan, at 500 Temple Street, the building serves as a home to various masonic organizations including the York Rite Sovereign College of North America.[2]

its a great place to see a concert.

saw Puscifer there a couple years back. it would've been a shame to see such a beautiful building fall to ruin as so many nearby already have.

Went with a friend many moons ago to catch Santana at the Masonic Temple (after having seen Santana a few years prior @ Pine Knob and in Phoenix at the old Memorial Coliseum w/Montrose and Eddie 2tix2paradise Money).

A lot of non-masonic groups rent our halls, it's one of the ways we raise money. Obviously this lodge needs to better vet whom they are renting to...

That's poor Edge, feeling lost without his wah-wah, reverb and effects.

Nice story about Jack White and Masonic Hall and also nice clip about Jack White the guitarist.

The Mason's seem to be a waning organization. Is there a recommended RI thread on the Mason's someone can kick to the top?

I once lived about two miles from the oldest (or one of the oldest) Masonic Lodge in California, Old Shasta Lodge built in 1853. Old Shasta is sort of a ghost town in that it was a small brick city that served the northwestern California gold mines and was the eastern terminus of the trail from the Humboldt county coast to the Central Valley. Old Shasta declined in importance because the railroad was located 6 miles east at Redding. Old Shasta includes an old brick main street maintained as a California State Historical Park. Old Shasta and Weaverville 45 miles west are like the larger gold rush towns of the Sierra Nevada and Jacksonville, OR (visited by robertpaulson) in that they were built of brick and not subject to the repeated burning of other gold rush era settlements built of wood.
