THE BUILDING AND ITS APPOINTMENTS.
One of the handsome buildings of
Rumford, in the heart of the business
section, is the Mechanics Institute. 1t
is a four-story brick building, with a
portico supported by massive pillars at
the front, on the corner of Congress and
Exchange Streets. On Congress Street
it has frontage OF 125 feet, and it is 50
feet deep on Exchange Street.
On the ground floor are stores, which
are among the best in town, and they
are occupied for several different lines of
business.
In the middle of the front doors open
into a wide corridor which extends
across the building to the broad stairway
at the rear, which leads to the second
floor, with an artistic window ar the
landing.
The whole of the second floor is de-
voted to the purposes of the Institute.
The finish is all mahogany. A corridor
extends the length of the building. On
the front side of this, and opening into
it by a series of arches, is the lounging
room. This is so by 100 feet, furnished
with comfortable chairs, Davenports
and tables. High windows in the front
open on to the balcony. At one end Of
the lounging room, and opening from it
by wide archway, is the ladies' parlor,
furnished in equally good style.
At the other end of the building is the
billiard and pool room, with six tables,
and cigar stand. Back of the corridor
are card rooms for men and for women,
coat rooms for men and for women,
reading and writing rooms, the office OF
the superintendent of the building, and
a room for the board of governors.
On the third floor are class and assem-
bly, rooms, and large gymnasium which
is fully equipped with all sorts Of ath-
letic appliances. Above is a running
track. All the apparatus is so arranged
that it may be quickly taken out of the
way, leaving the floor clear for basket
bali or other games. In the basement
are five 60-foot bowling alleys.
The rest of the third and fourth floors
is made up of suites of rooms, each
suite having sitting room aud bed
room, with a bath room for each two
suites. All but one or two of these
suites are already occupied.
Harry Fl. Cochrsne Of Monmouth did
the decorating of the rooms, and with
that fact stated, any statement that they
are in the best of taste would be super
fiuous. The furnishings, which repre-
sent several thousaad dollars of value,
are in equally good taste, and harmo-
nious throughout.
Henry Q. Halves of Westbrook will be
superintendent of the building. Mr..
Hawes is graduate of Bowdoin in the
class of 1910, and last year took a post
graduate course at Columbia University.
He will also be instructor for the gymDa-
sium classes and for the study classes as
far as possible, until they get too large.
