The Freemason’s Brotherhood in Halifax has roots which go back to the earliest days of the settlement, the first lodge having been established in 1750 by Governor Edward Cornwallis and others. Various lodge buildings were established over the years, including one which stood on this site from 1875 until it was demolished in 1914. Designed in the Beaux Arts style by architect S.P. Dumaresq, the building has a strong classical composition with six sandstone pilasters, surmounted by a frieze and entablature, creating a classical temple effect. The central bay is accentuated by double pilasters. At ground level, the visual focus is a central entrance framed by massive pillars and columns which support an entablature and balustrade. The second floor windows are tall and roundheaded and trimmed with plain sandstone surrounds and central keystones. The third level has no windows but is defined by five medallions symbolizing the Masonic Order.
