Kabir Kassam, a member of the new Ismaili Jamatkhana, stands by the fountain outside the 26,000-square-foot house of worship and community center in Glenview. The fountain, like many elements, is shaped in a charbagh, Persian for "four gardens," comprised of four heptagons. (Brian O'Mahoney Staff Photographer)
