Few buildings in this gallery sit as squarely in the everyday life of a town as this Masonic Temple in Niagara Falls, New York, captured on an 8 by 10 inch glass plate negative sometime between 1905 and 1920. Lodges like this one were social centers for many American communities of the period, hosting meetings, dinners, and civic gatherings alongside their private ritual work. The negative belongs to the Detroit Publishing Company, whose large-format views of towns and landscapes were widely sold in the early twentieth century and are now held by the Library of Congress.
