Knowing little about the Freemasons, it was with a sense of keen anticipation that I joined 17 other members of the Society for a visit to the Masonic Hall in Gandy Street. Although I have walked down Gandy Street on countless occasions, I have never before been aware of the hall. This is not surprising because the only indication on the outside of the nature of the building is the Masons’ symbol and I did not know what this was until after the visit. There is also a notice stating that the front entrance is no longer used and so it was necessary to walk around to the rear. However, the unremarkable exterior of the building hid a revelation inside.
