The Museum
The
Museum is located in a majestic old building with a rich history from when it
served as the
Masonic Temple. It was
built in 1927 of pressed red
brick with white stone coping in modern Colonial style. It is 35 by 85
feet and
cost $26,000.00 to build. It
contains two floors and the lower level was built with a specially
constructed
“dance floor” which the architect designed with a footing of cinders,
air spaced
to prevent buckling. It originally
was steam heated by the Soo Line roundhouse. Currently,
the building is unheated.
