These are newspaper articles provided by Joshua Andrews, documenting the progress for the raising of funds for the building of the Canton Temple. At the end of the day , the temple cost $1,000,000.00 to build, or $20,000,000.00 in today's money.

These pages are loose leaflets that were included in the booklet on McKinley's life that I posted previously. It's neat to look back on the industry advertisement of the day which, when this was published, was in 1901.

This is a publication I ran across that was heavily damaged but I was able to fix it. My effort to honor our Masonic Brother and President, William McKinley.

This is the building that Basil restaraunt is currently in.

Check out our new sign at the Temple! Oh, there's a gun show coming up too!

Scottish Rite Brethren,

I will be at Scottish Rite, Valley of Canton tomorrow night, Sept. 10th with coins if you would like to purchase one. This is a fundraiser for the maintenance of our beautiful building. Cost is $40 and that will get you a coin and a copy the original program for the dedication over our building in 1926. Hope to see you there!
