Proposed Masonic Hall For Lincoln.

PROPOSED MASONIC HALL FOR LINCOLN .

Masonic halls are springing up throughout the country . The design for the new Masonic Hall for Lincoln , to be erected on the site recently purchased on the north side of Newland , has been decided on . The building will be commenced in the spring , and , in addition to the rooms to be

used for Masonic purposes , will comprise a large assembly-room , or concert-hall , and other rooms and offices . The designs have been prepared by Bro . W . Watkins , architect , of that city . The groundfloor plan contains two entrances , each 9 ft . wide . Between them is a room 24 ft . square , to be used

for sales or small meetings . Immediately behind this room , and approached from the right-hand entrance , is the large open staircase leading to the Masonic departments , which occupy the whole of the front or the first storey . Immediately behind the sale-room , and approached from the left-hand

entrance ( which will be the chief entrance to the public assembly-room ) , are cloak-rooms . Behind these are staircases leading to the galleries , which extend round three sides of the large assemblyroom . This hall , which is 78 ft . long , 32 ft . wide , and 25 ft . high , has an orchestra at the extreme end ,

16 ft . wide and 13 ft . deep , to right and left of which are two green-rooms . Exclusive of the orchestra , the hall will seat 700 persons . The principal staircase , approached from the right-hand entrance , leads to the Masonic lodge , which consists of a reception-room , 24 ft . by iSft . ; a porchway leading

to the lodge-room , which latter is 36 ft . by 24 ft ., and 22 ft . high in the centre ; and a preparation-room , together with stores for lodge furniture , & c . The building is designed in the Geometric style of Gothic architecture , and is intended ( on certain conditions ) to be a memorial ofthe late Dr . Oliver ,

and , with that view , provision is made in the centre of the front for a life-size statue of him , which will be placed upon a pedestal , supported by coupled polished granite columns , and surmounted by an ornamental traceried canopy . The front will be

45 ft . wide , and 50 ft . high from the pavement to the apex of the centre gable , which will be surmounted with the life-size figure of St . John . It is lo be regretted that the design is for merely a front . — Builder .
