Ark Lodge #126, Columbia City, Seattle; John L. McCauley, 1921.
The facade is neoclassical, with four Ionic pilasters. At the top of the pediment, here obscured by the tree, is a Masonic square and compass, still intact. Below it, the lettering reads "Ark Lodge 126 F.& A.M.", or "Free and Accepted Masons".
Seattle architect John L. McCauley (1879-1957), himself a Freemason, designed and built this meeting space in 1920-21 for the Ark Lodge #126 chapter. The upper story served as the Masons' assembly space, while the ground floor provided income for the chapter as retail spaces. From 1921 until the 1940s, the ground floor was occupied by the Heater Glove Factory, which made leather gloves and helmets; Charles Lindbergh wore a Heater helmet on his transatlantic flight.
The Masons continued to meet here until 2002, when they sold the building, and it was converted to a cinema. The marquee was added and the second-floor assembly hall became a 204-seat auditorium. After additional remodeling, the building now contains four theatres.

  Experiment with strapless kinds, surprising lengths, or modern jumpsuits.

  The champagne coloured ankle-length wrap costume looks stunning on this mother of the bride.

  MOB etiquettes say if black flatters you, all–black may be your go-to mother of the bride or mother of the groom
  in search of the special occasion.

  If you'll find one thing with flowers even if it’s lace or embroidered.

  There are several key issues that must be considered when one is considering
  how to stamped concrete. One of the most important questions is how to
  achieve the right texture on a concrete surface. https://www.google.com/maps/place/?cid=5307152812782115180

  If there was a worth for the most well liked mother-of-the-bride costume, we'd happily give it to this one.

  Inspired by daring flowers, a blooming print pops off each inch of
  this strapless ball robe, from the illusion plunge corset bodice
  to the complete, sweeping skirt.
