EDITORS COMMENTS
The New Masonic Temple at Great Queen Street in London, a striking Art Deco building completed in 1933, stands as a poignant memorial to the 3,225 Freemasons who lost their lives during World War I. Designed by architects Henry Victor Ashley and F. Winton Newman, this impressive structure was the third to be erected on the site and took six years to construct. Dedicated on September 15, 1937, the building is the headquarters of the United Grand Lodge of England and is commonly known as Freemasons' Hall. The architectural design of the temple is a beautiful blend of classical and modern elements, with its tall, ornate columns and intricate geometric patterns reflecting the Art Deco style of the era. The temple's construction was a significant undertaking, not only for its size and complexity but also for its symbolic meaning. The Freemasons, an organization with deep historical roots, sought to honor the memory of their fallen brethren who had made the ultimate sacrifice during the war. The temple's construction was a testament to their commitment to preserving the legacy of those who had given their lives in defense of their country. Today, the New Masonic Temple at Great Queen Street continues to serve as a symbol of remembrance and as the hub of Freemasonry in England. Its intricate design and historical significance make it a beloved landmark in London's architectural landscape.
