Freemasons Hall restoration at Paxton

December 2022 marked the completion of the first stage of the restoration of the Paxton Freemasons Hall, the home of local Freemasons since 1927. As you pass the hall in Frances Street you will notice the updated colour scheme has returned the hall to its former glory.

This project was made possible with the assistance of a heritage grant from Cessnock City Council, coupled with an investment from our own funds.

A big thank you to Dale Troy Painting for this exceptional work and everyone involved in making it possible.

In January 2023 we have further work scheduled, including a new driveway, offstreet parking and disabled access to the front of the building. So watch this space!

Our Worshipful Master, W Bro Peter Pratt said ‘The restoration of our building is very important to the Lodge. Our 95-year home is being restored to its former glory but in a way that it will better serve us and the community into the 21st century.’
