fair showing Of representation men
who were succeeded by men not less
worthy-and the Alexandria Library
first an experiment had become
solid institution. II is probable that
tho rooms of the Christian ASsocla-
ton over the old bank on the north
east corner of Washington and
Prince streets, were first used By the
Library Company ard later the
hooks were shelved ct the Alexandra
Museum in the Market House. About
1884 several prominent citizens I'M
dertook to raise means for the build
ing of 4 public hall where lectures
might be delivered on literary, sclen--
tific and religious subjects, and
where local societies might hold
their meetings This project was
finally accomplished in 1899, when
the Lvceuni was erected on the south
west corner Ct Washington and
Prince streets. This building which
is Of classic proportions in the Do
ric stvle OF architecture, contained
connections auditorium, ana rooms
which were given up to the use OF
the Alexandria Library which con-
tinued TO occupy them until the
breaking out of the civil war. when
the building was seized By the Fed
earl troops to lie USED as hospitai.
Many of the books were then stolen
and carried off, but interested at
zcns succeeded in securing ana stor-
ing the greater number Of them. 4
few wears after the Wal they were
brought. out and installed in room
in the second story Of Gcrmann.S
bakery later occupied by LoZaAo,a
dry goods store. The towns people
had hardly recovered sufficiently
from the effects Of the war to be
able to support public library, and
! it was soon removed tG small room
in the second story Of the store on
the northeast corner of King ard
Washington streets, where after a
few months it was closed. and tn"
books remained in storage there
until 1897. During that year Miss
