Scottish Rite Masonic Temple

The imposing marble-clad Scottish Rite Masonic Temple on Wilshire Boulevard in L.A., which has seen little use since 1994, will undergo a major renovation to house contemporary art collections. It will be operated for the most part as a private property, with occasional exhibitions open to the public. Above, a bicyclist is framed within the temple, conceived by Millard Sheets, one of Southern California’s best-known designers. (Genaro Molina, Los Angeles Times / July 23, 2013)
