Visit WDCB First Light’s site to listen to a segment on the now-destroyed Masonic Temple.

What had been a landmark in downtown Aurora for nearly 100 years is now little more than a vacant lot. A fire at the massive Masonic Temple burned for hours earlier this month; within days demolition crews razed the building. First Light host Brian O’Keefe stopped by the Aurora Historical Museum this week to talk with Executive Director John Jaros about the building and what its loss means for Aurora.
