Various Masonic chapters met on August 5, 1950, in a Tenino sandstone quarry for ceremonies conferring the Mark Master degree. Members from Washington and Oregon gathered for the event sponsored by the Centralia Chapter #44 of the Royal Arch Masons. This view taken from the rear shows the massiveness of the quarry walls contrasted with the size of the men before them. Sandstone from this Tenino quarry was used in construction of the old state capitol in Olympia. (TNT 8-1-50, p. 26)
