Masonic Hall, 150, 152, 154 Brook Street, Broughty Ferry, Dundee

This is a two-storey, three-bay masonic hall dating from 1911, designed by H and F Thomson and built on Brook Street in Broughty Ferry, Dundee, with shops on the ground floor. The building is constructed of banded ashlar masonry with a slate roof and features a severe design incorporating classical details.

The north elevation is the principal facade. It features a prominent central doorpiece with Doric columns, a cornice, and a deeply recessed door. Flanking the doorpiece are shopfronts with off-centre doors and bowed plate glass windows. A slightly set-back close entrance bay is positioned on the left. The first floor has three 12-pane casement windows, with channelled margins and a large, decorative apron under the central window. A dentilled cornice runs along the top of the facade, finished with a blocking course. A mutual gable stack and half-piended roof are on the right side, with a skew gable on the left, and a large rooflight is centrally positioned.

The interior includes a vestibule with grained plaster panels and moulded festoons depicting masonic symbols, accessed via a half-glazed, two-leaf door. The main hall, on the first floor, features a moulded cornice with a black and white triangular frieze and plaster tassels. A lunette is positioned at the west end with a painted depiction of Broughty Castle and at the east end with masonic symbols. These are signed A Low (1919) and J Morrocco (1979). The cove ceiling has a large, astragalled rooflight at the centre, flanked by two ventilation grills in a star pattern. A memorial stone dated 11 November 1911 is set into the north wall, accompanied by a war memorial on the west wall. The building was originally associated with Broughty Castle Lodge No 486.
