Interesting and familiar symbols on the street frontage. From: http://www.lionlodge.org/ The Whitby Gazette in its issue dated 20/8/1859 reported: “The Consecration of the Masonic Hall” This interesting event took place on Tuesday the 16th inst. at 2 o’clock in the afternoon. The building, stone fronted and in slight projection from the adjoining houses which are of brick, has its lower portion in three semi-circular arches on Tuscan pillars, plate glazed and adapted for shops. The upper storey for the Hall, is in the Byzantine style, of which Norman appears a modification. Both sides of the gable are bordered by an arcaded cornice on brackets and the apex surmounted by a sphere in stone.
