The Macoon Street Mosque, formally known as The Hassanali Meah Memorial Mosque has been serving the Muslim community for more than 100 years. The Hassanali Meah Mosque was built around 1888 on Macoon Street, Victoria Village, San Fernando. The original mosque was built by the late Hassanili Meah, an Indian indentured immigrant who settled in Victoria village. It was an important place of worship for southern Trinidad. Originally the building only had one window space, three door spaces and no toilet facilities. The walls were made of oven bricks and limestone. In 1946 repairs were done but as time passed cracks appeared on the walls. In 1960 the demolition of the mosque began and a new building was constructed on the same spot as the old one. The new fence was made of the oven bricks from the original Mosque’s walls and three pieces of timber were repurposed as a shoe stand. In 1987 this structure was also demolished and the current structure was rebuilt.
