Auditorium Should Last.

In the discussion of the proposed Fed
eral auditorium it has been suggested
several times that the type of building
desired should be permanent and dur
able. But the point is worthy of special
attention. No temporary structure is
wanted. On the contrary, it should be
definitely stipulated that the edifice
should last not mere twenty or thirty
years, but rather, with occasional nee
essary renovation, for centuries.
Faneuil Hall in Boston, the so-called
Cradle OF Liberty" was constructed in
1742 and reconstructed in part in 1768.
But it remains today practically what
it was in its prime-a meeting place for
the people, hallowed with the memories
of nearly two centuries of civic history.

The famous Crystal Palace in England
is another example deserving of citation.
