The Grand Lodge home in San Jose is built with the same idea as the Masonic Center in Reno. Floor one is shops, floor two is the dining area and floor three is for the lodge room. Probably for the privacy it affords. All San Jose lodges meet there. The two main differences are the locked grate at the entrance, common in this country and the extensive Masonic symbols and emblems which decorate the interior walls. I will attend the English speaking lodge in two weeks and post photo´s of the interior. I got a Masonic Passport from Art Cronin before I left Reno. No-one at the CR office spoke English. I handed the letter to them and I was admitted.

That's facinating. I know my dad visited Mexican lodges in 1939 and was greeted warmly.
