The Masons....

The masons have a truly amazing building in Guthrie that if you are ever in town you MUST go take the tour. It was built and fully decorated (i think) 3 days before the stock market crashed in 29.

Below you will find some pictures they won't do it justice but I hope you can get a feel for the beauty of this building.

I was a little shaky so I apologize for the quality of the images.

The ceiling treatments area all hand painted and some of the chandeliers are worth more then I'll make in my lifetime.in the ceiling above the flowers in the arch are actually 3 dimensional.

below is a picture of the detail of the ceiling and it's all hand painted some colors take up to 6 coats to get the right shade.


Built in book cases filled with rare and old books.
The stage with it's original backdrops for plays and skits.
This table was cut in one big cut of a tree. vertically not horizontally and would probably seat 12-14 people it was huge. the rug below it is hand woven and is so large they had to take a window out and part of the wall. to get it in the room it's magnificent.

I hope you enjoyed and I hope someday you get to see the beauty for yourself.
