Description
The Sussex Masonic Club is a house built around 1830, likely designed by Amon Wilds and Charles Augustine Busby. It was enlarged in 1928 with the addition of the Masonic Temple and a wing to the south. The building features a stucco exterior with a tiled roof and stands three to four storeys high, including dormers. The original structure has a five-window range, which has been expanded to eleven with the additions.
The front of the original building is divided into three bays by Doric pilasters, adorned with honeysuckle and palmette ornamentation. There is a central flat-arched entrance set back under a porch supported by Greek Doric columns, with an entablature that includes a triglyph frieze and mutule cornice. All windows are flat-arched, and the central first-floor window has been altered to a canted oriel in the 19th century. The attic storey features a slightly recessed centre, a secondary cornice, and dormers in a mansard roof, along with side and ridge stacks.
The wing to the north, which includes the Masonic Temple, projects forward at the ground floor level. It has a flat-arched entrance with a decoratively glazed overlight and panelled doors designed in the original style, flanked by flat-arched windows with decorative glazing. The entrance and windows are framed with architraves that have ribbing and corner blocks, topped with an entablature and blocking course. The first, second, and third floors are set back, with simple architraves, and the third floor is treated as an attic. To the south, there is a screen wall facing the street with a two-storey wing set back, featuring simple architraves on the ground floor and ribbed architraves with corner blocks on the first floor, along with a cornice and panelled parapet. The interior has not been inspected.
