The Architecture of Joseph Michael Gandy (1771-1843) and Sir John Soane (1753-1837): An Exploration Into the Masonic and Occult Imagination of the Late Enlightenment Abstract In examining select works of English architects Joseph Michael Gandy and Sir John Soane, this dissertation is intended to bring to light several important parallels between architectural theory and freemasonry during the late Enlightenment. Both architects developed architectural theories regarding the universal origins of architecture in an attempt to establish order as well as transcend the emerging historicism of the early nineteenth century. There are strong parallels between Soane's use of architectural narrative and his discussion of architectural 'model' in relation to Gandy's understanding of 'trans-historical' architecture. The primary textual sources discussed in this thesis include Soane's Lectures on Architecture, delivered at the Royal Academy from 1809 to 1836, and Gandy's unpublished treatise entitled the Art, Philosophy, and Science of Architecture, circa 1826.

  • Freemasonry Unites Behind Demolay Four Years AFTER the Death of The
    Freemasonry Unites Behind DeMolay Four years AFTER the death of the Founder, Dad Frank S. Land, an historic moment for the Order of DeMolay took place on February 21, 1963 in Washington, D.C. Ten presiding officers of national and international Masonic Bodies signed a “Declaration of Principles” in support of the Order of DeMolay. The signing took place in special ceremonies for the purpose, at the House of the Temple of the Supreme Council of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite for the Southern Masonic Jurisdiction. At that time, DeMolay had over 170,000 active members in 2500 Chapters across 12 countries. This provided a huge boost to DeMolay’s prestige and desirability to Masons throughout the world. Participating were the Grand Encampment of Knights Templar, the Scottish Rite Supreme Councils of the Northern and Southern Masonic Jurisdictions, the General Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons, the Genera Grand Council of Royal and Select Master Masons, the Shrine of North America, the Grotto Supreme Council, the Red Cross of Constantine, the Royal Order of Scotland and the Conference of Grand Masters of North America. Basically, the declaration pointed out the faith and interest that was manifested in DeMolay, and pledges of individual support as well as organizational support were made. The pledged support included both moral and financial, with no intention or desire on the signers’ part to determine DeMolay policy. On the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of DeMolay, the heads of these organizations reaffirmed these beliefs by again signing the Declaration on March 18, 1969 in Kansas City, Missouri, during the annual Supreme Council session.
