There are also special exhibits held throughout the year to display traveling collections. Admission is free. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A marvel of interior design |
900 East Oklahoma Oklahoma City, OK 73044 United States +1 405 282 1281 http://www.guthriescottishrite... |
Constructed from limestone, this temple—which sprawls over a 10-acre property—looks like it has been transplanted from ancient Greece to Guthrie, Oklahoma. Visitors can spend an entire day here, marveling at the timeless beauty found in each of its 14 rooms. Each room has its own distinct character, with designs patterned after Assyrian, Egyptian, English, French Gothic, Italian, Pompeiian and ancient Roman cultures. It is truly a sight to behold, no expense was spared, as evidenced by the imported carpets and marble flooring, numerous chandeliers and nearly 400 stained glass windows. Review © 2007, Wcities |
