Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Formal Opening of the New Fireproof Building of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, April 6-7, 1910 Prior to the ceremonies, the visitors spent their time going through the spacious building, examining the rare books, collections of paintings and relics, in Stille Hall, Hall of Governors, Gilpin Library, and the priceless collections in the Manuscript Department, the Assembly Hall, and rooms of the officers of the Society. The floral display was very attractive. At 4 o´clock the large and distinguished audience gathered in Assembly and Stille Halls, between which a platform had been erected, where were seated officers of the Society and members of the Building Committee. The President, Hon. Samuel Whitaker Pennypacker, LL. D., opened the ceremonies by introducing John Frederic Lewis, Esq., chairman of the Building Committee, who was greeted with applause, as he arose to speak. Alter rendering formal thanks to the architect, Addison Hutton, and the builders, J. E. and A. L. Pennock, through whose sympathetic co-operation it had been possible to make the new building an example of greater economy per square feet than any other in Philadelphia, and describing the unique system of fireproof construction, Mr. Lewis continued: The building which has been erected for the Society is admirably fitted for the purpose intended. Its chief aim was to serve as a fireproof storage for the Society´s invaluable collections, and this aim has been constantly kept in view in every detail of its design and construction. Its walls are of brick, a material already burned, and are of great thickness, with ventilating air shafts to the roof. No wood whatsoever has been used in the construction of the building.
