NEW YORK HARVARD CLUB

According to plans now before the members of the Harvard Club of New York City the club's building will be enlarged by additions on both the Forty-fourth and Forty-fifth street sides. This is made necessary by growth in the club's membership from 700 in 1894 to 3200 today.

Plans for the Addition.

The building committee has had tentative plans drawn up by Messrs. McKim, Mead, and White with provision especially for additional sleeping facilities. The fourth and fifth floors will each contain eighteen bed-rooms with suitable bath-rooms. The additional space on the sixth floor will be used for squash courts, showers, and dressing rooms, provision for which, with the addition of a swimming pool, has also been made in the basement.

The second and third floors will be utilized respectively for additional library facilities and several private dining rooms. A more imposing addition will be the construction of a large dining-room, two stories in height, extending from the first to the third floors, which will connect with the present Harvard Hall.

The proposal for enlargement is the result of long consideration of the problems of future expansion and will probably be approved at the regular club meeting next Saturday. The new building will cost $310,000 and the cost of interior furnishings will swell the total to $357,000.
