high to illustrate the merits of the grand.
The grand foyer is a large 75 x 200' room.
24 large pillars in serpentine. Floor inlaid in
decorals marble. Ceiling dome in gold having
taken $1400 for leaf. Four golden candelabras
at doors under gallery. Walls under gallery
inlaid marbles. Simply a grand as any
reception hall. Very fine but unused.
