1924

The Aurora Masons opened this temple in 1924 and it was added to the National Register in 1982. A fire gutted the building in October 2019 and the shell was demolished shortly afterwards. Listing on the National Register records that a building matters historically, but it does not stop an owner from taking it down.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
