1892 1926 Demolished Freemasonry Masons New Orleans

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history when the Free Masons acquired the Commercial Exchange building in New Orleans back in 1892. For over three decades, this grand structure served as a hub for Freemasonry activities until its demolition in 1926 to make way for a new and improved building. The Free Masons, known for their secretive rituals and symbolism, made their mark on this historic edifice during their tenure. The ornate architecture of the Commercial Exchange provided an ideal backdrop for their meetings and ceremonies, shrouded in mystery and tradition. As time passed, the decision was made to replace the old with the new. In 1926, the original Commercial Exchange building met its fate at the hands of demolition crews, paving the way for a modernized structure that would better serve the needs of the Free Masons. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era when secret societies like Freemasonry held sway over society's elite. The legacy of these enigmatic figures lives on through images such as this one, offering us a glimpse into their world of intrigue and mystique.
