The Elks National Memorial: Grand Reception Hall











The Grand Reception Hall..
It has heat sensitive lights, so as soon as one enters the Hall, the lights switches on.. and one is surrounded with luxurious beauty all around... A masterpiece in rare woods, palatial Oriental rugs and unique fine furnishings...
