The house has half million of paid up

at million to-day but for a defect in

feet by 200 feet in depth, two high stories
and basement in height, with mansard
roof, and cost $4,000. The foundation
and basement is of granite, and the super
structure wood. The basement is divided
off into club room, dining room, kitchen,
pantries, wine room, closets and lovatories.
The hall on the first floor is 6OxS5 feet and
2S feet in heighth in the clear, and will
seat 1900 people. The decorating of the
walls and ceiling of the hall is rich and
tasty, being in the Pompeian style. Front
ing the stage is gallery with a
seating capacity of 500, beneath
which is q reading room. Directly
off the hall to the left of the main entrance
the ladies' dressing rooms, all tastefully
furnished. For the purposes designed the
hall is very complete-a credit to the city
and the society. 1t is the intention of the
society during 1888 to build gymnasium
on the rear of the hall, with an entrance
from Franklin street, in connection with
large and well equipped stage, provision
having been made for such an addition in
the planning of the hall.

Market House.

To Col. Allen, president of the common
council, belongs the credit of projecting
and carrying forward to completion what
is known as Market hall, the largest pub
lie structure in st. Paul, picture of which
is given above. II was commenced under
difficulties and discouragements that no
one but a strong man could overcome.
At times, while Col. Allen was urging the
erection of this building, the objections to
ii were stated with so much strength and
repeated so often that it seemed as though
the colonel would be defeated. It was not
so ordained. however. and the work on the
building was commenced and finally car
ried through to completion. 1t is 2sO feet
long, extending from Wabashaw street to
st. Peter. On the st. Peter end Of the
building it is 80 feet in width. and on
Wabashaw street IS feet wide. It is built
of yellow brick, and is furnished with a
large and pleasant toned bell. It has never
been used for a market house for the rea-
son that when it was about completed the
state capitol was DESTROYED BY FIRE. and
Market hall was by common consent ten
dered to the governor for the use of the
state officers and the legislature. Since
that time the lower part of it has been
used exclusively by the state for capitol.
In this building the legislature has con-
vened. and the laws that govern the state
have been passed and approved within its
walls. The second story is used for the
municipal court and for general public
purposes. IN the west end there is large
hall capable of seating 1900 people. Al
together the building has cost something
over 100000.
