Accessibility & Parking
The Temple building is partially handicapped/wheelchair accessible. The two parking spaces in the rear lot on either side of the southeast door are handicapped spaces. There is no ramp (yet) to the door, but it is a shallow step of about six (6) inches rise, and can be managed with assistance. We do have a portable ramp than can be deployed if needed.
Inside, there is a wheelchair accessible restroom just off the dining hall.

The Temple has a small parking lot behind the building, which is accessed from Pearl Street behind the lodge. It should be noted that due to the incline of the driveway ramp and stone walls on either side combined with a narrow street necessarily limits accessibility to cars and pickup trucks, though a small box truck (such as a 10-footer) should be able to navigate this.
In addition to the lot behind the temple, there is free unrestricted street parking on High Street in front of the building as well as the surrounding streets.
