Chapter Seven studies theosophical architecture in the United States and the erection of the Blue Star Memorial Temple of Science, Philosophy, and Religion, dedicated to the memory of Francia LaDue in 1925. The group believed their edifice was a powerful architectural technology for centering unseen spiritual forces and important for the coming of the Christos or Avatar, said to occur in late 1928.
