Masonic Hall, Birmingham, UK
Sign on the Severn Street Masonic Hall
60 Severn Street, Birmingham, England. This building was originally constructed in 1809 as a Jewish synagogue. In 1813 the synagogue was badly damaged in anti-Semitic riots. It was rebuilt in 1827 by Richard Tutin, and continued to be used as a synagogue until 1857, when the present Singers Hill Synagogue was built around the corner. This building was then sold to the members of “Athol Lodge” and opened as a Masonic Hall in 1858. In 1891 the frontage to Severn Street was redesigned, remodeled, and added to by Essex and Nicol Architects from Birmingham, and remains little altered today.
