Detail of a lion water spout on façade of building. In 1922 the Manhattan Opera House was purchased by the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite of Free Masonry. The Masons built a new building façade with the inscription "Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite" which can still be seen today. The Lion may be a reference to Masonic handshake known as "The Lion's Paw".
