Mark Masons’ Hall 6 St James’s Street is a Crown property and Grade II listed. The present building, a Crown property, was built between 1862 and 1865, designed by Sir James Thomas Knowles (1831-1908). At the time of its construction the building was described as “High Victorian”. The property consists of seven levels which includes the lower ground floor and basement. Two types of stone are used to the St James’s Street elevation giving a mildly polychromatic effect. It consists of four bays on the ground floor which are all arched; the right hand bay at the top of a flight of stone steps provides the main double doorway entrance.

The works were completed by July 1979, the Grand Secretary and the administration staff moved in on 21st July 1979 and Mark Masons’ Hall was open for business on 1st September 1979.
