It seems to imply that the York (American) Rite is appendent to the Scottish Rite although all FellowCrafts are received into it.
Good to finally see a diagram with The Shriners on it - confirms what GadFly told me (that it is equivilent to a "Lodge of Perferction" but with physical hazing and an Oriental/Mystic theme.)

In 1870, several thousand of the 900,000 residents of Manhattan were Masons. Many of these Masons made it a point to lunch at the Knickerbocker Cottage, a restaurant at 426 Sixth Avenue. At a special table on the second floor, a particularly jovial group of men used to meet regularly.
The Masons who gathered at this table were noted for their good humor and wit. They often discussed the idea of a new fraternity for Masons, in which fun and fellowship would be stressed more than ritual. Two of the table regulars, Walter M. Fleming, M.D., and William J. Florence, an actor, took the idea seriously enough to do something about it.

What are you talking about? There are three steps, then a step for the 4th degree in the scottish rite, and on the same level a step for the Mark Master of the York Rite.

Another interseting thing is that the Time Life pic has the library of alexandria, rather than solomon's temple.

The Scottish Rite, on the other hand, is a system of 33 degrees that was founded in the US in 1801.
Master Masons in good standing may continue in the York Rite by applying for admission into a Chapter of Royal Arch Masons, or they may apply for admission into the Scottish Rite beginning at the 4°, or they may do both, or they may do neither.

Are these different physical buildings, or is it all confluent with the local lodge?
