Work will soon begin on the addition to the Harvard Club in New York. The committee in charge have accepted the plans drawn up by Messrs. McKim, Mead and White, and the members of the club have subscribed $60,000 of the necessary amount for making the addition.
The building, when completed, will have a frontage of nearly 50 feet on 44th street, and will extend from the present building all the way to 45th street, thus increasing the size of the present club about four times. The addition will be four stories high.
The main feature of the new building will be "Harvard Hall," a large hall to be used for dining and general club purposes; its dimensions will be 100 feet in length by about 40 feet in width and about three stories high. This large hall is patterned somewhat after the large Living Room of the Union, but has a stone floor, and stone walls above an oak wainscot.
There will be a large addition to the library space on the second floor and on the third floor there will be committee rooms and private dining rooms. The fourth floor will contain bed rooms, a roof garden and several squash courts.
The committee in charge is composed of the following men: James J. Higginson '56, chairman, Francis R. Appleton '72, David I. Mackie '83, Walter Alexander '87, Charles S. Fairchild '63.
