Statement of Significance

The place has high social value as a Masonic Hall which was used for a long period of time.

Physical Description

The hall consists of a small rectangular brick building with an attached weatherboard section at the rear. An asbestos extension was added around 1960. The east (Spring Park Road) elevation has decorative stucco pilasters to its lower half which are connected to arches. Above the arches, a moulded stucco string course runs horizontally across the facade at plate height and above this is a gable end on the apex of the gable. The two side elevations have three paired semi-circular hopper windows to their upper halves. The corrugated iron roof of the brick portion which retains early (probably original) air vents, is formed as a gable at the east elevation and is hipped at the west end where the weatherboard section is attached. Access to the hall is via the weatherboard section.

History

The marble foundation stone for the Masonic Hall was laid on 2 February 1903 by Dr J W Hackett, MLC, Grand Master. The building was designed by architect E Rindley and built by contractor W E Rossiter. It has been used as the meeting place of The Lodge of Friendship No 17 of the Grand Lodge of Western Australia of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons.
