Former Masonic Temple, built in 1894 to the designs of John Johnson, by J K W Lowry; refurbished and converted c 1989. The front is unusual in having three doorways, each of a different purpose and status. The grand central door leads up to the ceremonial first floor level; the right hand door is next in importance as it leads directly to the reception and social rooms above the first floor; and the left hand door leads only to the ground floor rooms.

High Bridge runs from here west across Grey Street to Groat Market. Its name comes from one of the two bridges that used to span the Lort Burn before it was buried. Parts of the small, stone-arched, Upper Dean Bridge, still survive below the dip in the west half of the street. Tyne and Wear HER (6498): Newcastle, High Bridge (street) http://www.twsitelines.info
