I have done a bit of work on the Architect Henry Naden, he did a couple of buildings in and around Birmingham.
Henry Naden was a Birmingham Architect based at 54, Livery Street, Birmingham. He was responsible for designing several buildings, including;
Athol Masonic Hall, 60 Severn Street, Birmingham banqueting hall. Decorated with Stars of David, was added for the Freemasons in 1871-2. The Torah Ark was retained by the Freemasons with only slight modifications. It's handsome, fluted Doric columns and classical entablature remain. The Master's Chair is placed in the former Torah Ark niche.
