the condition in which it appeared
when Washington made his farewell
address within its wallis
A painstaking and Thorough study Of
the building from every angle was
made and plans prepared. From that
time until 1911 efforts were put forth
to have the city of Philadelphia fur
nish funds for the work the committee
oe architects offering to give their sery-
ices without cost. In October of that
year the city finally undertook the
work. and IL contract involving the ex-
penditure of $4,000 was entered into
with the architects Their work is
now completed The architects have
contributed the time involved in the
holding of more than hundred meet
ings and professional services for
which the charges to private clients
would have been at least $4,000.
1t is believed that the building as it
now stands represents one OF the first
Of the important american historical
relics Of it's character to be thoroughly
restored on the principle that the es-
sential thing is reproduction of flaws
and err0rs as well as of the good de-
tails. The spirit Of the time which It
represents has been considered the
vital thing. In the case Of ConGress

The restoration called for great
deal of research and utilization Of the
sense which makes detective snecesa-
fui The architects had t., l,wt two

from the evidence which they secured.
They read old letters. ransacked news

insurance policies. They studied the
marks uncovered when the plaster and
