Permanencies, Modifications, Transformations, and Disappearance of the Temple of Jesús María-Gran Logia La Oriental Peninsular, 18th-20th Centuries: Study for the Virtual Reconstruction of the Built heritage of Yucatán, Mexico. Intervención (Méx. DF) [online]. 2018, vol.9, n.17, pp.65-79. ISSN 2007-249X.

The REPORT presented in this issue of Intervención offers, based on the integration of different documentary universes and the extraction of the few physical vestiges, an interpretation of the architectural transformation of the temple of Jesús María-Gran Logia La Oriental Peninsular of Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico, which originally served as a Parish for Black people and mulattos under the advocacy of El Dulce Nombre de Jesús. In the mid-nineteenth century, due to the military clashes during the Second Mexican Empire, this building suffered serious deterioration; reason for which, after the Restauration of the Republic, it was subject to a series of partial reconstructions. During the Mexican Revolution, it was seized and converted into the headquarters of the Gran Logia La Oriental Peninsular, with aesthetic adaptations typical of Neo-Mayan Art Deco, and it was demolished in the 1940s. This contribution highlights the virtual reconstruction that made it possible to indicate the permanencies, changes, and losses of this heritage in its historical evolution.
