NEW HOME OFFICE OF
THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS

The Knights of Columbus, having
outgrown its former headquarters on
Chapel St., New Haven, Conn, is now
fully installed in the new Knights Of
Columbus Building on Wall Street,
New Haven. 1t is one of the most i'm
posing and well planned fraternal
headquarters. The entire building is
used by various departments OF the
Society, including the printing OF its
official journal and literature, the post
war work and other activities.
The Knights of Columbus enjoved
the largest net increase Of any OF the
societies last year. both in benefit and
social membership. Its present head
quarters will be of assistance in main
tanning the past record On January !,
1922, the total membership was 76G,S12,
consisting of 1889 social members
and 219,503 benefit members, The net
increase in membership for 1921 was
80 400 social and l7l44 benefit mem
bers. These figures account for the
need for increased space The Board
of Directors were authorized by the
Supreme Council to proceed with the
work in 1920 When the knights OF
Columbus took up its educational ac-
tivities for ex-serviCe men additional
space became essential At the same
time the Order took up the work Of
doing its own printing The property
is one hundred and tifty-one feet by
two hundred and forty-siX feet. The
total cost of the headquarters includ-
ing the land was S6S2, 5Oj43 The
building is of reinforced concrete with

enty-five per cent of the walls on all
sides is taken up by windows. The
Office personnel numbers two hundred
and ten of which forty-seven are con-
nected with the educational and war
fare activities and sixty-four are en-
ployed in the printing plant. The new
home office building meets present day
requirements, and has been designed to
care for the Orders future needs 1t
constitutes a milestone in the Society's
progress.
