Where is King Solomon's Temple?

Postby WC1 » Thu Aug 23, 2012 2:36 pm

What has happened to the marvelous model of King Solomon's Temple that was such a popular feature of the old Library and Reading Rooms before they became the Burnet Building and the home of the Council's offices? It used to be just inside the entrance to the Reading Room, on the left, though I think it may have been moved into the entrance hall at some point. I went in to look at it this morning and it is nowhere to be seen. Does anyone know what has happened to it?

Further enquiries have answered my question: it's in the masonic hall. Pity it's no longer accessible to the public.
