Style[edit]

I'd disagree with it being literally art deco, while it shows a few characteristics I'd say it also conforms to British palladian revivalism in many ways, it's a small building but has a grand almost intimidating stance to it. But alas, I'll leave that to the editors of the article to discuss.

Furthermore, is lodge ever held in this building? Or is it for memorial purposes only? 211.30.71.59 02:00, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't call it a small building at all - it's quiter large inside - Indeed many lodges are based here - it has nearly 20 temples as well as the Grand Temple which are constantly in use in the evening and on Saturdays.

Quite correct, there are 28 Lodge and Chapter rooms in use including the Grand Temple, which are used six days a week! Besides this there are a number of meeting rooms in the hall also. Additionally in recent years the hall has been used as a set for TV and film productions. The hall is Grade II listed inside and out and requires funds to maintenance and renovation.

Stub[edit]

I see this is currently listed as a stub - I'd be very happy to start a bit of a project to get it improved, and help it become aslightly more useful and substantive article. Do let me know if this is something that would be appreciated, or if anyone else would like to get involved, via my (currently VERY empty) talk page.

Have merged in article about Library and Museum - will begin referencing process shortly Middlesex Fire (talk) 12:07, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is this still a stub? What classifies a stub? Any guidance welcome. Mycroft (talk) 15:54, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Building Appeals[edit]

I will be happy to assist in improving this stub. Note also that there was an earlier appeal for funds to improve the building which resulted in the award of the Hall Medal, to 26 Lodges of which 17 survive today. The text needs to reflect this as the Masonic Million Memorial Fund (MMF) which was not the sole fund to provide the finances to build one of the three halls. In respect of the MMF some 1321 lodges were awarded the Hall Stone Jewel which a WM wears on a collarette. It is one of three jewels that subscribers were awarded. There was a fourth jewel, a 200 guinea one that was a special so to speak. Aquizard (talk) 14:00, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Howdi from Australia. I just found this http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Masonic_Fr.jpg which might be a nice stubb or addition - I see Aquizard was thinking that way. There was a good source for this here http://www.mqmagazine.co.uk/issue-9/p-31.php I was surprised by this medal - I have one in my possesion Melbournemason (talk) 07:00, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
