Freemasons’ Hall : ウィキペディア英語版 | Freemasons' Hall, London
Freemasons' Hall in London is the headquarters of the United Grand Lodge of England and the Supreme Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of England, as well as a meeting place for many Masonic Lodges in the London area. It is in Great Queen Street between Holborn and Covent Garden and has been a Masonic meeting place since 1775. There have been three Masonic buildings on the site, with the current incarnation being opened in 1933. Parts of the building are open to the public daily, and its preserved classic art deco style, together with its regular use as a film and television location, have made it a tourist destination. ==Original concept==
In 1775 the premier〔There were several early masonic grand lodges. The term "premier" refers to the grand lodge created in London in 1717.〕 Grand Lodge purchased a house fronting the street, behind which was a garden and a second house. A competition was held for the design of a Grand Hall to link the two houses. The front house was the Freemasons' Tavern, the back house was to become offices and meeting rooms. The winning design was by Thomas Sandby.
