GV II
Former literary and scientific institute, now part of freemasons' hall. Datestone 1799. Faced coursed greenstone, granite dressings including ashlar plinth, quoins, jambstones, voussoirs, mid-floor string and frame of triangular pediment to front with scrolled kneelers; asbestos slate roof. Rectangular plan. 2 storeys; principal 1st-floor with round-arched window openings, blind to symmetrical 1-window front end and 4-window range to right-hand return. 2x12-pane horned sashes on the left and 2 openings blocked with brick on the right. INTERIOR not inspected. The pedimented gable of this building is a prominent feature of the Helston townscape. It marks an important phase in the social history of the town, built at a time when Helston was benefiting from the tin mining industry and fine villas, such as in Cross Street, were erected in the vicinity.
