The Art Deco Penarth Masonic Hall in the Province of South Wales has been undergoing a transformative renovation at the hands of a team of dedicated volunteer Freemasons, professional builders and craftsmen since 2016.
From its inception 98 years ago, the building has served as a haven for various Lodges and other Orders, hosting events that have brought joy, support and assistance to those in need.
However, wear and tear and the weight of nearly a century of Masonic rituals had taken its toll, particularly on the floor of the Grand Temple. The once beautiful tessellated pavement that supported countless ritualistic movements from Initiation to Installation was in dire need of renewal.
Nearly two years of research and planning led to the flooring being renewed by contractor Amtico. The significance of the flooring, particularly its allegorical ties to Freemasons, required a high level of commitment to aesthetics in keeping with the original design.
The result is a floor that not only meets but exceeds expectation.
