[1] While there are active Masonic organizations in Belfast, they now meet in a modern facility on Wight Street.

[2] Belfast's former Masonic Temple is located in the commercial heart of the city, at the northeast corner of Main and High Streets.

It is a 3+1⁄2-story masonry structure, built out of red brick with stone trim, resting on a granite foundation.

It is capped by a mansard roof, and has a four-story mansard-roofed tower prominently set at the street corner.

The ground floor houses commercial storefronts, with the main entrance centered on the facade facing High Street, flanked by engaged columns and topped by an elaborate stone hood with brackets.
