Albany Masonic Hall, Masonic temple in Albany, Western Australia
Albany Masonic Hall stands at the corner of Spencer and Earl Streets with a double-storey brick structure featuring stuccoed walls and a corrugated iron roof. The building houses a meeting room decorated with traditional Masonic fixtures and continues to operate as an active lodge today.
The first Masonic lodge in Albany was established in 1873, introducing Freemasonry to the city. The current building was completed in 1903 and replaced the original structure, marking a new chapter while the lodge remained active as one of the oldest in Western Australia.
The lodge displays traditional Masonic symbols and regalia that you can observe in the rooms. It represents how this community has maintained its practices and identity here for more than 150 years.
The building sits on the southwestern slopes of Mount Clarence and is easily accessible from the streets. Visitors should know that it functions as an active lodge, so entry may be limited to certain times or occasions.
The lodge is the only one in Western Australia operating under the English Constitution, a distinction maintained since its founding. This makes it a notable example of how different Masonic traditions coexist in the region.
