This week’s #ThrowbackThursday is a 1910 photograph of the Brooklyn Masonic Temple on Clermont Avenue, [built between 1907 and 1909 by architects Austin Lord and James Monroe Hewlett](http://freemasonsfordummies.blogspot.com/2010/11/brooklyn-masonic-temple-is-not-exactly.html?ref=bklyner.com). Today, the building’s owners, [Empire State Grand Council, Ancient & Accepted Scottish Rite Masons](http://brooklynmasonictemple.tripod.com/id5.html?ref=bklyner.com), rent out its [large auditorium for concerts](http://www.masonicboom.com/?ref=bklyner.com).
