Rechabite Hall (Former) - Physical Description 1
The brick building, which has additions to the main facade and side, is now the Berwick Masonic Hall (owned by the Berwick Masonic Trust). The wall surfaces are smooth rendered on the facade and painted on the side walls, obscuring the polychrome brickwork. The classical parapet wall features relief pilasters, balustrade and pediment with the date 1886 inscribed. Vermiculated corbel stones and scroll work are elaborate embellishments. A front addition to accommodate a new entrance lobby, features a Georgian central window and was probably built in the 1930s. It no longer functions as an entrance, this being located at the side of the building in a former window opening having been modified to create a doorway. A later wing addition to the west of the original building has a similar facade to the entry lobby, with a stepped entry and hardiplank side wall. It detracts from the earlier building, as do the rear additions.
