There is a very significant archtectural heritage and legacy left by Freemasons in Greater Victoria. Extant buildings include commercial and residential structures designed by, built by, or built for, Freemasons.
The following table lists the Greater Victoria extant buildings we know to have been designed by Freemasons who were practising architects. We have tabulated the listing by construction date, with earliest dates first. Please note that this list is not complete. We will add new information as we uncover it.
