Selby Masonic Hall

The Selby Masonic Hall comprises a pair of late 18th-century town houses, which were altered in the 20th century for use as a Masonic Hall.

The building is constructed of yellow brick, rendered to the front of number 27, with a slate roof to the front slope and clay pantiles to the rear roofs. The plan is a "C" shape, with the main range aligned southwest to northeast, and two rear ranges projecting to the northwest.

The front facade, facing southeast, is three stories high and five bays wide, consisting of two bays to number 25 (left) and three bays to number 27. Number 25 is of yellow brick in Flemish bond, with a low stone plinth, while number 27 is rendered with a taller plinth due to the sloping ground. The front has paired, painted door surrounds approached by low stone steps. These surrounds feature plain pilasters with moulded bases, feather capitals, and a frieze decorated with husk festoons. The surrounds have semi-circular arched architraves with fanlights above recessed fielded panel doors. A curved lamp bracket with scroll decoration and a modern lamp fitting is above the right-hand doorway, and the door to the left has an urn door knocker. The windows are two-over-two sash windows with horns; number 25 has one window to the ground floor and two above, while number 27 has two to the ground floor and three to the top floor (which is lower than at 25), unevenly spaced. The front roof slope is clad in Welsh slate and number 27 is sprocketed with stone coping and a kneeler to the gable. Ridge stacks are at either end, sharing a stack with the adjacent public house on the left, and over the party wall; these stacks have bands, cogging, and octagonal pots. There is an ogee cast-iron gutter with wrought-iron stays and cast-iron downpipes.

The northeast side facade is of orange brick in English Garden Wall bond, with a coped gable, kneelers, and a gable stack. It features blocked stair windows set above the ground and first floors with matching sills and lintels. A lower window is also blocked but without these features. A low, two-story rear outshut has modern windows and partially blocked openings. The southern rear outshut has a coped gable with kneelers, and a gable stack.
