Surrey Masonic Hall.
SURREY MASONIC HALL .
A contract has been entered into , and the work is progressing at a rapid rate , by the directors of the above company . The builder is Bro . John Oliver , and the amount of his contract £ 5 , 000 . The building is intended partly as a Masonic
Temple for holding " Craft" and " Chapter " meetings and banqueting , partly as a club for Masonic brethren , and partly , although very separately if desired , as an assembly rooms for lectures , balls , drawing-room entertainments , political and other meetings . The former will
g ive all the accommodation required , even a billiard room for use of club members and visitors , while the latter will be the much required room of the locality , about 70 by 35 and 35 feet high , having all necessary dressing and retiring rooms , lavatories for ladies and
gentlemen , & c . The premises are so arranged that with convenience a dinner may be served for eighty persons , and each separate lodge or chapter may have its separate wine store . The building in course of erection is finely
classic , having a portico in advance of the general facade line , and a neat little tower rising over the vestibule in the centre of the building , from a square into octagonal form to about 60 feet high , finishing with a corona and mansard roof , decorated simply with pilasters , caps and bases .
From the plans ventilation appears to have been studied throughout , and from the general appearance of the design and plans South London appears to have taken a step in the right direction . Tbe architects are Messrs . Pain and Clarke , of 19 , Buckingham-street , Strand , the last named
being Bro . Edward Clark , P . M . 1194 and 1329 , P . P . G . Superintendent of Works , under whose especial care the design has been prepared . Being a prominent Freemason , and thoroughly understanding the requisites of a Masonic temple , he will leave no stone unturned to preserve his reputation by providing a handsome as well as commodious temple worthy of the Craft .
