DAVIES STREET MASONIC TEMPLE - Physical Description 1
The Davies Street Masonic Temple is a red brick building with a gabled terracotta tiled roof and rendered dressings to the south facade. For most of its length, the building is single storey, but a double storey section, with a hipped roof with terracotta finials, rises exists mid-way along its length. The north (Davies Street) facade is classical in design. A triangular pediment sits above a plain frieze; four Ionic columns are set between two red brick piers. Between the columns are two circular leadlight windows (with the Masons' set square and compasses device) topped with moulded swags, and a central plaque, also with ornate mouldings. In the pediment, mouldings of the Masons' device appear once more. Elsewhere, external decoration is restricted to white-painted rendered window dressings.
