Description

Arguably the most visually prominent building in Ripon Street is the Aylesbury Masonic Hall which is situated on the southwestern side of the street close to the junction with Whitehall Street. It was built in 1882 in the Victorian Gothic style and combines red brickwork with stone dressings. The building is symmetrical with a central two-storey bay protruding slightly forward of two side wings. The windows are lancet in shape with stone surrounds and the central doorway is decorated with stone columns topped with ornately carved capitals. This is a local building of note within the Conservation Area of Aylesbury. (B1).
