The Tiler's Room is the main entrance to the Scottish Rite Cathedral (off of Meridian Street, within the eastern portal). This room is a perfect cube -- 33 feet wide, 33 feet long, 33 feet high. The entire Scottish Rite is based on units of 33 because Christ lived for 33 years and the highest possible degree in Scottish Rite Freemasonry is the 33rd degree. | The Tiler's Room is the main entrance to the Scottish Rite Cathedral (off of Meridian Street, within the eastern portal).

Foto mit freundlicher Erlaubnis von Sarah: Tiler's Room floor medallion In the center of the floor of the Tiler's Room is this medallion. In the center is the Masonic Double-headed Eagle of Lagash with the slogan "Spes mea in deo est" (My hope is in God). The eagle is surrounded by the twelve signs of the zodiac and the three symbols of Scottish Rite Freemasonry (in the larger circles). The signs of zodiac were included in this design to remind Scottish Rite members to pursue enlightenment in all 12 months of the year.
