Next Stop: The Ternary Building

The Ternary Building
6205 Temple Hill Drive

Then:
The home of Grace Shaw Duff, Henry Hotchener and Marie Russack, prominent Theosophists. Complete with Italianate gardens, Moorish meditation areas and a lotus pool (why stop at one style when you can have them all?),  the Ternary teemed with mystical activity. A stadium was erected in the gardens in 1918 and used to stage a dramatization of Sir Edwin Arnold's "The Light of Asia."








Now:
Apartments, naturally!
