Many do not know that before the Grand Lodge of Oregon Administration Offices were located in Forest Grove Oregon the Grand Lodge of Oregon paid rent for their offices at the old Masonic Temple that was located where the Portland Art Museum is today.  At that time the building was just called, “Masonic Temple”.  Many lodges, Al Kader and OES etc would meet there through out the year.  Here is a great picture of many years ago of the stage area inside the dining hall of that building.  The large corner where the Shrine Emblem is hanging is still visible if you go searching recent dining hall pictures at the Portland Art Museum via online search.  Love the recording gear.  Little bit bigger back then.
