Building From 1775

Freemasons' Tavern

The first, 1775, building (in the picture) was replaced by a four storey building in 1803. It was rebuilt again in 1864 by the Freemasons who, in 1909, renovated it and changed its name to the Connaught Rooms in honour of their then Grand Master, the Duke of Connaught and Strathearn.
