7. The Decor is Made of Plaster
Though many of the rooms appear to have marble inlays and columns, wood coffered ceilings, and gold detailing, these decorative elements are actually all made of painted plaster. This design trick is most prevalent in the Renaissance Room where the walls seem to be adorned with marble inlays, gold trim and orange marble columns. Even the windows are fake in the rooms. None of the meeting rooms contain windows that actually look outside, though the Gothic room has a marvelous stained glass window filled with masonic imagery and symbolism.
