Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Proceedings at the Public Opening, September 28th, 1893 of the New Haven Colony Historical Society Building: Erected by Henry F. English as a Memorial of James E. And Caroline F. English Previous to the erection of the present permanent home of the society, the rooms it occupied for its historical and antiquarian collections, its meeting for business and its audience chamber were of a temporary character. For several years the southeast room in the third story of the newly completed City Hall with the adjoining fire-proof room, amply sufficed for the accommodation of the society; but in 1878 the needs of the municipal authorities of city and town compelled their abandonment. A transient refuge was found in the New Haven State House, until this last memorial of the independent colonial existence of New Haven was destroyed. The Insurance building on Chapel Street imperfectly served the purposes of the society until the noble benefaction of Mr. Henry F. English, in uniting a tribute of filial reverence with his interest in a public object led him, unsolicited, to erect an edifice every way honorable to himself and admirably adapted to promote the ends for which the society was organized. In its construction no pains were spared by the donor in making the building attractive in aspect, convenient in arrangement and graceful in detail.
