00:00The Masonic Temple in Detroit, Michigan is the largest Masonic Temple in the world.
00:04With 1,037 rooms, the building has 16 floors, but the elevator somehow only goes to seven.
00:11Featuring seven Masonic Temples, three theaters, two ballrooms, and a huge auditorium complete with the biggest stage in Detroit,
00:19the Masonic Temple has been pristinely cared for since it was built between the years of 1920 and 1927.
00:25Interestingly, George D. Mason was the man who designed the Masonic Temple.
00:32Construction began on Thanksgiving Day and the building was formally dedicated on Thanksgiving Day.
00:37The plans for the building were submitted nearly 30 years before the Masonic Temple was actually built.
00:44A ghostly rumor has circulated for decades that George D. Mason went bankrupt building the Masonic Temple.
00:50His wife left him and he jumped from the roof of the building he made.
00:54In reality, George D. Mason passed of natural causes in 1948 at the age of 91.
