RE: Irem Temple Staircase Abandoned Shit Weekly Contest - №.7 - B&W
this looks amazing. from the name, it is some kind of church, but it looks like an theatre. it is sad that this kind of buildings just fall apart
I guess it is basically a Men's Fraternity (The Shriners), that do good for the communities & children's hospitals. They used the 'Temple' name because of the look of the buildings - nowadays they are called a "Shrine Center". Like many places like this in the past, they built beautiful buildings and now they can't afford to upkeep them. I've seen this in many old lodges and other types of buildings. Some are basically still functioning (Elks Lodges) but maybe 2 of the rooms are used and the rest is just rotting away. In the second picture, the ceiling is a gigantic stained glass part of the roof- It's beautiful.
thanks for the info
