The Aged Freemasons' Asylum at Croydon: A Haven for the Elderly Freemasons in Victorian England (1850) This evocative print depicts The Aged Freemasons' Asylum in Croydon, South London, which opened its doors on Thursday, 1850. The design of this impressive almshouse was overseen by Mr. S.W. Danks of Whitehall Place. The principal front of the building, approximately 262 feet in length, is divided into five parts and sits atop a terrace that varies from twelve to sixteen feet in width. Three sets of steps lead down to the gardens in front. The central portion of the elevation contains four rooms, including a committee room, an ante-room, and other necessary conveniences. This section projects six feet ahead of the general facade and features an octagonal turret at each angle, crowned with a lanthorn, embattled cornice, and ornate ogee dome. The Aged Freemasons' Asylum was an essential charitable institution during the Victorian era, providing a home for elderly Freemasons in need. The design of the building reflects the architectural sensibilities of the time, with its grandeur and attention to detail. The print, published in the Illustrated London News in 1850, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the exterior beauty and significance of this historic building.
