Masonic Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah Lee Porebski September 2005

Auditorium
The Auditorium, intended for larger gatherings, is generally used for Shrine, York and Scottish Rites work. There is not too much of Masonic significance apparent, because this room is the one into which the public is frequently admitted. However, the magnesium glow lights in the dome are intended to symbolize the canopy of heaven.

The curtains, which can be drawn across the four arches, converting the cross-shaped room into a more compact space, are of dyed Repp, and depict the workman in the forest, quarry, and at the site constructing King Solomon's Temple.
