[edit] Style
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)
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.
