Queen Street Heritage Trust was formed to preserve the fabric of the building and maintain it for future generations to use and enjoy.

The Hall is a Grade One Listed Building and a recent regrading by Historic England has resulted in it being listed in the top 2.5% of listed buildings in the country, and as such has been classified as of extreme importance to the nations heritage, making it on a par with many Cathedrals and Stately Homes throughout England.

The Phoenix Hall is located in Queen Street East, Sunderland and is the oldest purpose built Masonic Temple under the English Constitution in existence and is still in continuous use today by the very Lodge that built it.
