John Quincy Adams received his death
stroke in this chamber, and the position
of his desk and chair, the spot where he

sequies of Mr.. Adams were held in this

Dickens wrote of the bad acoustics of
the hall. The hall is today sometimes
called the Hall of Echoes. Most WASH
ingtonians and hundreds of thousands of
tourists have heard the echoes of small
whispers. The echoes are remarkable 1t
is said that blindfolded man cannot tell
in what part of the hall man is talking
to him. Sometimes the voice of the
speaker across the hall seems to come up
from the basement at the feet Of the
listener. The Speakers desk was changed
from side to side of this hall that the
presiding officer might hear and be heard
The echoes, II is said, We're not so un-
canny then as they are now, because
there were tapestry hangings and
wooden floor. But whisper echoes are not
as startling now as they were few years
ago.
This whispering gallery has been the
