Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania: Artistic Architectural Details

Grand Lodge Artworks
Written By Sean Starr

An endless collection of gold leafed and hand painted details surround you everywhere you turn at the Pennsylvania Grand Lodge building in Philadelphia. If you look closely at the painted trim area close-ups, you can see the “signatures” of the artisans who worked on the building placed with a thumb print in gold leaf.
