Yea…so… I technically broke into this place to take some selfies. I had no idea this was a Shriner lodge… or that Shriners are high order Free Masons… so I pretty much accidentally broke into a meeting of a high level secret society for a photo op - at least the sheriff thought my cluelessness was funny.

Went here for a yoga class and it's absolutely beautiful ❤️ The hand laid tile is Amazing. Plus it's huge, definitely going back around Christmas Time for the Festival of Trees

Visited to drop my daughter for an event. I always thought this place is Hindu temple... And I was wrong. I was also wrong about the Taj Mahal which was the Hindu temple or Shiva shrine. This place is built after Taj Mahal in 1928 and used as event venues. I am still learning about the Milwaukee even after 10 years of residence.
