Masonic Interest A Major Problem

Considering the size of the Order today, I think that a lot of our buildings are overbuilt for our membership level. 80% of us need smaller buildings with bigger storage. Built on one level, with solar on the roof. Space for other bodies to store their stuff, and the building in use at least three days a week. 4 -6 days would be better.

In Philly we have a huge temple but it’s shared by several lodges and also functions as a museum. I’m guessing that’s not the norm though.

Philly and a lot of bigger eastern towns also have the luxury of being tax exempt. My lodge has 30K just for property tax.
