Masonic Hall (Twillingate)

---

Built in 1906 this masonic hall is in the tradition of all Newfoundland masonic halls in the elaborate detailing of its exterior The offset tower gives it something of the character of a church but this impression is disturbed by the ovoid dome which tops the tower. Beneath the heavily bracketed eaves is set a large panel with finely carved masonic emblems. The main doorway, the windows and corner boards are decorated with pilasters. A renaissance touch is added with the differing window treatments on the first and second storeys. The first storey windows are surmounted by pediments, while the second storey windows are surmounted by segmental arches containing windows with simple tracery. Above the main door is a pointed segmental arch.
