OUR ARCHITECTURAL CHAPTER .
No . IX .-MARCH 2 , 1859 .
THE laying the corner stone of the Ereeniasons' Hall at Leicester , on the 18 th ult ., is a grand event . We find that the Hall or Lodge room , instead of being of the dimensions formerly given by us , is higher , for it is sixty feet long by twenty-five feet wide , and twenty-two feet hif'h and includes , as we have before stated , a music gallery at the south
end which , as we understand , is placed over the ante-room . The banquet room has been likewise finally arranged by Bro . Millican , Provincial Grand Superintendent of Works , to be twenty-four feet by seventeen . The approach to the ground floor is by a staircase six feet wideleading to an open landing . The front of the building is of
, Italian character , and constructed of red dressed brick , with Bath stone dressings and cornice . The front is set back from the street line , so as to oive a better effect , and will be separated from the street by an ornamental iron railing . We wish the Brethren at Leicester would send us up an engraving
of the buildino-, with a plan , for insertion in the Freemasons' Magazine ; for it would be an honourable memorial of their labours , a suitable compliment to Bro . Millican , and an incentive to the exertions of other Brethren .
We find we have a constant call to add to our lists of Masonic buildinfs , by the insertion of the names of old buildings not before known to us , and by the accession of new establishments ; so that when we come to make our review next year we shall give a list much more copious and more nearly complete . It is evident that what we are
doing , in publishing the good deeds of the Brethren , is stirring up others to exertion , and that there is a spirit abroad now which must exercise a most favourable influence in the vital improvement of Masonry . A building not included in our list is the hall of the ancient VOL . vi . 2 c
