This is a great building down town Fairbanks Alaska…it was once the masonic Lodge ..Once it was a building of grand beauty but it lays in needed repairs and the love of a group that wants the history to travel forward again….the building is a big part of the Fairbanks history
It was once well kept and well thought of …..the Wikipedia tells us the story of the building not to many years ago ..In many different visits to Fairbanks I have taken photos of the building in hopes one day someone would pick it and go forward with history …It is a shame that all the many local lodges of Alaska could not find enough wonderful journeyman in their ranks to make this a building of grandness again both inside and out ,,,
Close up of some of the damage to the build because of lack of being maintained.
More damage to the upper level because it was never meant to be a patio when built …..
The settling of the building may have caused the rust running off the top of the building ..,but it could be something as simple as trash caught in the cap on the missing parts of the building edge ….
Take from other side of the river a year ago ……
Little further down river to see the side of the building …..the next shot are of the pillars in the front …without some repairs they will continue to rot.. A real shame for such an awesome building
Notice the wonderful stone works above the windows …I hope you once again have enjoyed the travels of my lens
