The groins, pointed arches, pinnacles and spires appear in every part of the room. The Cross and Crown, emblem of Sir Knights hangs above the Commander's throne (a replica of the Archbishop's throne in Canterbury Cathedral) on the lofty platform, which also bears the richly carved chairs of the other Officers. The pictures on the walls are of Past Grand Commanders. The wainscoting is of oiled pine, and the richly carved furniture, Gothic in all its decorations, is covered in black leather. Four rows of benches are on each side of the room. A doorway at the top of a short flight of stairs on the south end of the Hall formerly opened into a banquet room, but that space has been radically changed into office and storage space.
As of October 1981, Gothic Hall is also the home of the Valley of Philadelphia of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite.
Gothic Hall is eighty-seven feet long, fifty feet wide and twenty-six feet high.
