Temple, Has anyone built one? Options

Simply put has anyone here built or know if there has been built a temple for the ancient sumerian Gods/Goddesses? I'm not talking about a portable one. More like a building. It could be very intriguing. Think non-profit status, sacred prostitution, etc.

Now I'm thinking if one were to be built. How would you design it? I like the Ziggurat idea but it'll have to have a modern twist. For even though they are ancient Gods/Goddesses, I'm a modern man and like my creature comforts to much. Would it have a rectory like some churches so that the priests/priestesses could live there and practice there devotions? I think that would be ideal. Obviously they wouldn't be wealthy, but thats what fund raisers and the non profit status can help with. Perhaps even have a chamber set aside for some rites that would NOT be open to the public. What do you think? I realize its a little OT but I think it has enough to do with the post to keep going.

I think a building with at least 4 floors on 40th street in Manhattan.

NYC is of course where the Necronomicon came to life so its a fitting place.

1st floor gift shop.

2cnd floor a place for worship and Mandal with full Nec set up. This area open to the public.

3rd floor same as the 2cnd so rites could be performed at the same time. This floor only open to members of The Order.

4th floor. My office. So I can roll blunts and chill while I am trying to figure out how to invest that 60 million dollars. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
