Mohammed Shriners of Peoria - Bartonville, IL - Masonic Temples on Waymarking.com

In Bartonville, on Pfeiffer Road/Industry Drive, is the headquarters for Mohammed Shriners of Peoria.

The headquarters is located in a mostly industrial area in this suburb of Peoria, next to the old Bartonville/Peoria Insane Assylum building.

The building is a modern structure that is one story tall with a low peaked roof. There is a garage at one end. Off the other end is a plaza with a statue of a Shriner carrying a child in one hand, and holding a crutch with the other. The main entrance is near this end.

Unfortunately, I could not find an active web site for Mohammed Shriners. I found a news article from the local Peoria Journal-Star about the shriners there. It talked about the good that Shriners do in support of the Shriner hospitals in Chicago, St. Louis, and Cincinnatim The human story centered around a family where a child had a rare form of heredity Rickets that was being treated at one of the hospitals. The tone of the article was in a tone that the Shrinrs were forgotten and anachronistic. Something needs to be done about that.

Start with a working web site.

I did find a Facebook page, but there does not seem to be a general info section.
