There is a building near me that is abandoned and half collapsed, it however has a large faded symbol or logo above the front door that looks like two triangle arches one upside down forming a diamond shape. The top triangle arch looks like it could be calipers or a compass?
That is it, I don’t think it had the G though. Now I feel kinda stupid for not knowing it was the Freemason symbol.
I guess they didn’t take in Trinidad.
And in the interest of correcting ignorance they did take, but I guess they have moved at least once.
We have one nearby. There’s a Circle-K with a stairs up the side…up those stairs is the ‘lodge’, I guess, of the society. Just kinda cracks me up.
Even weirder is that I see in various cities, the buildings that still say “Oddfellows Hall” or something. At least Masons sounds active and cool by comparison.
You wouldn’t rather be an admitted Odd Fellow than a member of an organization named for contractors?
Except I’m pretty sure the “G” doesn’t stand for “God”, but for “Geometry”.
… or “Goat.”
But Ben Franklin does their radio spots!
Not the “Great Architect”?
I’m an admittedly odd fellow.
Not quite the same thing, I know.
I used to be a member of a Masonic youth organization. I was told the G stood for “Guild”.
