American Mechanics Open New Lodge Room
Fi'eeport Council Noi 57, Jr. 0. U. A.M., with i'.s tenants, bas returned; to its rooms in the Realty Building, the work of renovating after the fire of last wintei having been completed. The lodge rooms with the accom¬ panying ante-rooms and banquet hall suffered most from the disastrous fiie of March 6, and the work of renova¬ tion has just been completed. Fred How«JI had charge of the re-building, with J. Wesley Miller doing the deco¬ rating and James Campion the elec¬ trical work, and the three ccmWoed have made a beautiful lodge room.
The banquet hall and the closets it contained, at the east end of tbe build ing, was entirely destroyed, and had to be rebuilt. This has been done, with a row of closets, including a dish closet, on the south end of the room. The ante-room at the south of the hall instead of being cut up into closets as before, has been left as one large room for tbe use of the Mechanics, and the second of the two ante-rooms has been filled with closets. The outer door of the lodge room has been changed so that instead of opening in, it now opens outward, giving a small landing at the head of the stairs.
These outer rooms have been furn¬ ished about the same as betore, with the extra supply of chairs for the ban¬ quet room.
It is in the main lodge room that the beauty of the re-finishing becomes ap¬ parent. The carpet is identically the same, a medium green. Starting with the sidewalls, which are paneled com¬ pletely around the room, the color shades up to a perfect blend with the color of the metal ceiling, a light green.
