DescriptionPalmerston North Theosophical Hall MRD.jpg
English: Theosophical Hall, 304 Church Street, Palmerston North, New Zealand. The Palmerston North branch of the Theosophical Society was established in 1911, a relatively short time after the movement's establishment in 1882. The building itself was constructed in 1924 and was the first to be purpose-designed for electricity in the city.
Arthur Robert Allen, a Freemason and prominent architect in the city, was the architect of the building. He played a large part in the rebuilding of Dannevirke after the great fire on Labour Day, 1917, which destroyed 35 buildings on either side of High St.
The Edwardian Baroque-style building has significant spiritual value as a place to study philosophy, religions, and spirituality. The meditation room in particular has been described as having "a sense of calm ideal for its purpose". The main hall floor remains sloping, as the original use of the hall was for lectures.
