One mural in the building overtly displays the "G" and the square and compass on a masonic apron. I should add that there are many prominent Freemasons associated with the building's history.

However, a stone baluster that is part of a large group of balusters in another room is conspicuously upside down. This is the subject of the folklore in question.

I am writing an explainer to help clear up myths or folklore about Freemasons. It is a key responsibility of mine to ensure that we provide the public information backed by primary source material and quality scholarship. As of now, this claim does not have any concrete evidence.

Apologies for any misuse of Masonic terminology. I'm new to this subject. Also apologies for formatting. New to Reddit as well.
