depth of 175 feet extending to Pynchon Street. Corinthian
Columns, 41 feet high. Height to apex of pediments,' 75 feet.

THE CAMPANILE piercing the sky for 300 feet is unique

field and the incomparable Connecticut Valley can be seen at
their best.
THE MUNICIPAL CHIME of twelve bells cost $10,000
and ring out their sweet tones every quarter hour during the
day and hourly at night.
