Photo 20131225. “Going down or up the escalators at the Sheraton hotel in Toronto” #2.
Photo 20131224. Another fraternal organization building – Loyal Order of Moose (LOOM) lodge, Detroit.
Yesterday’s photo featured the more well-known Masonic Temple. Both these buildings are owned by the Ilitch organization – a group that is buying up a lot of porperty in the “arena” area of Detroit.
The LOOM lodge has a basement that is larger than the building itself – extending under the sidewalks.
