Here is a link depicting the interior detailing and scale: https://youtu.be/V2v0dTg0KZ8?si=EqnLZFfyx5eZl7pj In the early 1980s, local real estate developer and architectural antiques enthusiast Bob Juliano acquired significant architectural elements from Philadelphia's Scottish Rite Temple, a prominent Art Deco landmark designed by architect Horace W. Castor and located at 150 North Broad Street. His notable acquisitions included a monumental pair of bronze doors, ten substantial bronze lanterns, and eight bronze-and-glass light fixtures. Constructed in 1926 and tragically demolished in 1983, the Scottish Rite Temple also served as the Town Hall Theater, a celebrated performance venue where Bob Dylan made his Philadelphia debut and many other legendary artists performed. Juliano had the foresight and vision to save these important architectural treasures from destruction and gave them a second life, installing these pieces in a preeminent home he built for his family in Northern Maine (photographs available). Bob Juliano had the wisdom to secure numerous drawings of the original construction of the Temple on Broad Street. To our surprise and great delight, the plans were drawn and signed by Tiffany Studios. These exceptional architectural pieces were recently removed from the home Bob had built in Maine and have once again come home to Philadelphia (figuratively speaking) to be offered for sale. Kamelot Auction would like to thank Ingrid Juliano for providing us with this intriguing provenance, as it is always inspiring to know the history of noteworthy artifacts such as these. This item is not located at our Philadelphia gallery and is available at zip code 04210 - Maine. A rigger at that location can load the doors onto the delivery vehicle for a $200 charge.
