I was going past the area where the Masonic Temple is located in Hammond and it’s still standing. I guess like anything, the process of getting it torn down is taking longer than planned.

I’m partly glad see that it is still standing. Although I have heard and reported that it is in bad shape, it’s nuce to see downtown Hammond with out another scar on it face. So much seems to be a feeble reminder of what Hammond once was, To have the Temple stand a little while longer is a good thing. I hope that it isn’t toen down until something useful is ready to be put in it’s place.

I also hope that some part of the artwork can be preserved, much like the Goldblats clock now inside the Hammond Public Library.
