Along the road, the Masonic Hall (figure 23) is an early to mid nineteenth-century construction of late Georgian style. Its flat, symmetrical front has five bays with central door. The boundary wall still retains its original railings,other than where these were removed to provide a vehicular access, and the overthrow entrance arch is unusual, if not unique, in the Western Isles.'(E.Dennison and R.Coleman,1997,63)
