Preston Bradley Center
The Preston Bradley Center is a nationally registered historic building in Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. Its creators designed the site as a center for arts and culture. The building was constructed in 1925, and designed by British-American architect J.E.O. Pridmore. In 2000 the building was placed on the Federal Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior.

Freemasonry
Freemasonry or Masonry refers to fraternal organisations that trace their origins to the local guilds of stonemasons that, from the end of the 13th century, regulated the qualifications of stonemasons and their interaction with authorities and clients. Modern Freemasonry broadly consists of two main recognition groups: * Regular Freemasonry insists that a volume of scripture be open in a working lodge, that every member profess belief in a Supreme Being, that no women be admitted, and that the discussion of religion and politics be banned. * Continental Freemasonry consists of the jurisdictions that have removed some, or all, of these restrictions.
