 “[A] very successful affair.  The location is in Fourth Street, between Bowery and Lafayette Place, and occupies two lots.  The building is spacious, containing rooms for reading, billiard playing, for eating and drinking, and a very pretty concert hall for concerts, decorated with taste.  The cost of the building and fixtures was 52,000 dollars.  The inauguration commenced with a concert.”
