sign stands was purchased from Will
lam Niblo in 1860 for $4,000. The build
ing was completed and opened April q,
1865, and since then has been the home Of
the Academy. The building is of white
and black marble. and follows in gener-
al style the Doge's Palace at Venice.
1t is three stories in height. The first,
or basement floor. is occupied by the
School of Design; the second by the
Offices of the Academy, the reception
room. library and council chamber. The
galleries in which the exhibitions. are
held are on the third floor. They are light
ed from above, and there are a number of
circular ventilators in the side walls,
which take the place of windows. The
cost of the building was about $3.50, 900.
The members Of the Academy have for
some time been discussing the advisa-
b!lity of selling the building and seeking
new quarters further uptown. 1t was
reported some time ago that site for a
new building had been selected on Cen
trail Park West near the Historical So
cety Building. but this was denied by
