     The Blue Room, situated in the South end of the Temple, is also of the Adam style and was created to provide an aesthetic balance with the Rose Room at the North end of second floor.  The room serves as an idealized Blue Lodge room, and is used for meetings of the four administrative lodges which comprise the Scottish Rite Bodies.  The hand-woven rug in this room is eighteen feet wide and forty-five feet long, on which is placed a Hebrew altar, situated in the center of the room.  The three large windows in this room are stained glass and depict the three ages of man--youth, manhood, and old age.  The windows were created by an Italian artisan and are among the most rare of any in the Temple.  As in the Rose Room, a large oval ornamental plaster centerpiece adorns the ceiling.
