The inauguration ball of the renovated Germania Assembly Rooms owned by the brothers Koch took place on September 30th. The grand ball room was painted by Mr. Willner. New lighting in the form of candelabras on the walls of the room, accentuate the ceiling paintings and frescos even more. The new curtains and divans are also very tasteful. In addition, the lady’s parlor and other adjacent rooms have been elegantly decorated. The event was well attended and was to everyone’s satisfaction.
