Aladdin Temple, a Shriners' building in Columbus, Ohio, is the subject here, and the glass negative was made on May 6, 1923. The National Photo Company, a commercial studio that documented American cities and civic life in the early twentieth century, produced this record, and its catalog data was added later, so the title is noted as unverified. Fraternal organizations like the Shriners built lodges such as this one as meeting halls for social and charitable activity, and the building stands as a snapshot of Columbus during the 1920s. Visitors should note the streaks and blemishes on the glass, which come from deterioration of the original coatings over time.
