room, Mushroom, nursery and other
facilities. A tireproof floor separates
the basement from the auditorium,
and the Stairways from basement to
balcony are of steel and concrete con-

ment is available. A feature of the
interior is the screen for the organ
loft, woven by the Columbia Poly
technic Institute for the Blind of this
