In its CLASSIC AUDITORIUM Springfield has one of the finest
places of assemblage in the world.
TEN GREAT FLUTED LIMESTONE PILLARS line the front,
giving the building a majestic appearance. SEVEN ENTRANCES
lead to the lobby, and from the lobby you enter the auditorium
through any of five double doors which are FIRE AND PANIC
PROOF, swinging inward and outward.
FROM THE BALCONY, one gets a full impression of THE
BEAUTY AND MAJESTY OF THE GREAT AUDITORIUM
with its seating capacity of 4500 people.
Four great cluster electroliers furnish the light, and electrically
driven fans insure perfect circulation of air. THE MAHOGANY
AND GOLD SALON on the balcony floor is the GEM OF THE
WHOLE GROUP. The walls are solid African mahogany. The
ceiling is a mass of gold elaborately decorated. NO PUBLIC
BUILDING IN NEW ENGLAND has a room to COMPARE
WITH THIS IN MAGNIFICENCE.
THE BIG EXHIBITION HALL, with 22,000 square feet of
floor space, is fully equipped with kitchens, coat rooms, toilet
rooms, etc.
