FREEMASONS HALL,
CENTRAL LONDON, UK

The present, and third, Freemasons' Hall was built 1927-1933, by voluntary subscriptions, as a memorial to those who gave their lives in the First World War. It replaced an earlier building, part of which still remains. As can be seen in the photograph, the decoration on the new building, which can be seen on the right, seems to peter out, as if the plan had originally been to replace the remains of the older building (on the left) at some later date. Clearly the older building had been something quite substantial because there remains the left hand corner of a classical triangular pediment, perhaps of a portico of some type, that would have stood where the new building now stands.
