Standing on tlie Kite of the Washing- j ten home of Daniel Webster, the impos- j ing structure faces south tin Lafayette Square toward the White House. It is t built of Indian limehstone un<l is a du plication, in the main, of the Treasury j annex facing the onposite* corner of The square. It was designed by the came ; architect, Cass Gilbert, of New York. Where in days of yore stood Web- ! ster's home, with its rich political and social associations, and its rambling gar-! den, a fountain' will play in the court I yard in the center of the building. The j historical aspect will be preserved in j Daniel Webster’s desk, which will be used in the office of the president of . the chamber. ' i The classic Greek architectural de- ■ sign that will house the National Cham-1 her of Commerce had its inception just j after the World War. "Business inert ; of the country have been planning for I it ever since. The corner-stone was laid i by Secretary Hoover in May, 1022, and actual building operations commenced in , January, 1023. Rows of fluted Corinthian pillars, rest ing on a base which forms the first story, surmounted by a cornice with a simple balutrade above is a feature of the arch itecture. Four storiese enter into its presen plan, but the building is so ar ranged that one. or two stories may he added without marring its design, if pres sure, for space warrants it. The first floor will be devoted to con ference rooms. The various depart ments of the National Chamber will bo housed in the.three stories above. The offices of The Nation’s Business, a na tional business magazine, will be located in the building. The system of hav ing several large offices, rather than a number of smaller ones, will be follow- [ ed. : The building has a frontage of 158 j feet and a depth of 140 feet. The main | structure extends around three sides of, the slightly irregular square. At the rear, between the ends of the two wings, yet forming an integral part of the build ing. is the main hall or auditorium, with seats for UK*) persons. Balconied win dows look down on the closed court, with its playing fountain. The facilities of the organization of the National Chamber will be available to commercial organizations and trade ns«ociations that will make the new. building their rendezvous. Ten thou-j sand business men. firms and organiza-1 tions have aided in making this "work-j shop of American business” possible.
