THE VERMONT PHXENIX, BRATTLEBORO, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1911. NEW TOWN HALL IN TOWNSHEND Handsome Building Centrally Located in Enterprising Community Is Nearly Ready for Use In the early settlements of New Eng land tho town anil parish were Identi cal. Townshend was modeled accord ing to tho New Englnnd plan, thus n. building was erected In 1790 to servo as a "meeting-house" for public worship and also as a place In which to hold the annual town meeting, as well as any gathering of a public nature, political or otherwise. In tho development of tho community life tho secular and the rell gloUB became more clearly defined, which led to a desire on the part of the church to havo a separate room for Its Sunday services. Accordingly they added another story to the meetlng-houso and fitted up an audience room exclusively for re ligious purposes, thereby dissolving part nership with the town so far as the room to worship In was concerned, but not In relation to tho building as a whole, the town still retaining Its claim on tho lower floor of the old meeting house. This situation continued down to the present time. Many of tho church people, however, had come to feel that they should have control of the entire building nnd not be subjected to tho annoyances which must of necessity oc cur while part of the building was used or rented by tho town to other organ izations or companies for meetings or entertainments. Many citizens had come to feel that tho town could afford to have a build ing all Its own to use for nny and all purposes for which a public building stands In the community. Therefore, after much agitation and no lit tle discussion, the town voted In Its annual meeting In March, 190S, to relin quish Its interests In the old meeting house, for $1000, to the First Congrega tional society, the town to retain pos session for two years from that date. In the annual town meeting In March, 1909, a committee was appointed, con sisting of Harrison Chamberlln and It. W. Blood to Investigate as to the cost and bring In plans for a town hall. This committee reported to the annual meet ing In March, 1910, when It was voted to build a town house at a cost not to ex ceed J55O0. The selectmen, consisting of J. II. Ware, F. H. Wlllard and W. W. VanNess, were Instructed to carry out tho vote of the town. Harrison Cham berlln was added to the committee, but later he declined, to serve, the select men transacting tho business. After much delay a site was secured on land sold by It. D. Phillips and Dr. Parker for J625, located between the residences of Mr. Phillips and Dr. Parker, two doors from the Inn, which is thought to be the best lot In the village for that purpose. The contract for the cellar and founda tion was awarded to the late James O. Follett for $500. He began work In Oc tober, 1010, but owing to dlfllculty In se curing help he was overtaken by the cold weather with the foundation only nbout two-thirds ' completed. The situ ation was complicated further by the unexpected death of Deacon Follett In February, 1911. In the nnnual town meeting In March, 1911, the town voted an additional J1000 as It was seen that tho original appro priation was Insufficient to complete tho building nccordlng to the plans. A con tract was made with Haynes Saunders to finish the foundation and put In a cement walk and steps and grade the lawn, for' $300. Tho contract for tho building proper was awarded to Everett W. Phillips for J4S00, to be completed Jan. 1, 1912. Tho building was designed by M. It. Drew, architect, of Greenlleld, Mass. It Is 40 by 60 feet with 20-foot six-Inch posts. The portico Is 8 by 16 feet sur mounted by a balustrade supported by heavy columns. The hall Is 40 feet from the sidewalk and Is reached by a ce ment walk eight feet wide and a flight of five cement steps nine feet wide with 17-Inch treads. There la an ante-room on each sldo of the main entrance to the hall, which Is 3G by 40 feet with a stage 13 by 20 feet. The hall and gal lery, 14 by 40 feet, havo a seating ca pacity of 300. The hall has a maple floor and is finished In Georgia pine, shellaced and varnished In the natural color. The celling Is metal painted white with green border. The side walls are plastered nnd left white down to the window sills, where they are met by a walnscottlng which extends around the building. There Is a dressing room on each side of the stage and a stairway leading to the basement, at the rear. Heat Is supplied by n hot-air wood furnace put in by E. S. Fuller & Co. of Saxtons River and Townshend, the cost of which, with tho ventilation, was greatly Increnscd by the law requiring tho conditions to meet the approval of tho state board of health, though no doubt the restrictions are all In the line of progress. E. V, Phillips super Intended the work in person, and was ably assisted by It. "V. Blood and F. A. Blood. Architect Drew has expressed himself as well satisfied with both the material used and the work done. The selectmen and citizens of the town are to be congratulated on the success ful completion of an undertaking of so much moment. It Is an ornament to tho town and a monument to the skill of her mechanics. The plans for the dedication exercises are not completed, but no doubt they will be In keeping with tho wholo enterprise.
