Grand Lodge of England

 

 

The creme de la creme of Head Quarters buildings, art deco as its best. That's Freemasons' Hall, headquarters of the United Grand Lodge of England in Great Queen Street London. It was finished in 1933 as a memorial to the many Freemasons who died on active service in the First World War. Initially known as the Masonic Peace Memorial, it changed to Freemasons' Hall at the outbreak of war in 1939.
It is from this building that all the lodges in the UK and through out the world are administered.

The Memorial Shrine commemorates the 3225 brethren who died on active service in the First World War and in whose memory the building was raised. The theme of the stained glass memorial window is the attainment of Peace through Sacrifice, with the Angel of Peace carrying a model of the tower of the building. The bronze memorial casket was designed by Walter Gilbert (1871-1946), who also designed the Victoria Memorial facing Buckingham Palace. The casket contains the memorial roll, viewed through a glass aperture at the corner of which are gilt figures representing the fighting services
