Discussion

Unity Temple is not open to the public without paying for admission. The building is currently a museum.Wrightwriter (talk) 06:07, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a few years late for this comment to matter, but the building has never been a museum. It's always been in use by an active congregation. Highnumber (talk) 15:21, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unity Temple houses a church that meets on Sundays - and they also use the space at other points during the week; however, there are times during the weekdays that tours are given to the general public, and those are PAID tours where admission is charged, with the money going to the building's continued upkeep. The tours are given as a point of architectural interest, though - Unity Temple is not in any way a "museum." 104.153.231.177 (talk) 23:56, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Correct, it is not a museum. The part of the article that describes the restoration talks about the Foundation that now partly owns the building (along with the congregation) and the tours are managed and run by the Foundation, with fees helping to sustain upkeep of the building (which is still fundraising for the capital campaign for the restoration as well). 2603:8001:2A00:7428:64B6:AC7C:BD83:4A8C (talk) 04:07, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Photos

These photos all appear to be taken some years ago - there are newer photos as the building has been restored. 2603:8001:2A00:7428:64B6:AC7C:BD83:4A8C (talk) 04:12, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wishing someone who has access to those photos & can confirm permissions to use it would post some new ones here. The main one that shows with the info table is a very old dingy photo from before restoration. 2603:8001:2A00:7428:79F3:7E4E:95E5:E9D (talk) 01:01, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
