History

Dated 1915; probably by the same architect as the similar Territorial Army Drill Hall, which is immediately to the rear. Simple 'Queen Anne' detail and treatment of brickwork; style of F A Roberts, architect of Mold.

Exterior

2-storey red brick structure with slate roof, overhanging eaves and red brick chimney stack at the back; paler gauged brick dressings. 2-window gable end front gives architectural unity with Nos 10 and 12 and the English Congregational Church. Open pediment treatment with bracket cornice, channelled end pilasters; dentilled band at ground floor lintel level, voussoirs and deep 1st floor aprons. Small-pane glazing to horned upper sashes. Central, dated 'Masonic Hall' plague. Camber headed openings to side elevations, the first two bays of which are marked by advanced pilasters; panelled door to right. Similar glazing to rear. Interior not seen.
