The stage portion will be fire proof.
Cases, in which will be displayed some of the larger exhibits, will be placed along the sides of the room, on the ceiling or in color not the ceiling in light, airy.
THE 3-MANORIAL ground floor is planned for exhibit rooms. The main room will be separated from the smaller one on the east by a large drapery, to prevent too much light from entering the main room. French gray linen covers the walls in a color scheme. A battalion grays line will cover the floor.
The large room on the third floor is to be divided into five sections. One room will extend through the middle from east to west, while the north and south sides will each be divided into halves.
As the paintings will be shown on this floor, an immense skylight, said Mr. Cuthbert to be the largest in the state, will be installed. The two panes of this will each be 40 by 34 feet. They are of one-fourth-inch wire glass, supported by steel and lead.
Even Temperature Maintained
In order that an even temperature may be maintained both summer and winter, an extra wall, 18 inches from the present sliding, will be built. The walls will be concealed by this wall.
The two small rooms on the west side of the third floor will be made into exhibit rooms for Colonial furrow displays displayed in their natural settings.
Mr. Cuthbert, the architect, is especially interested in this building, as his father, James Cuthbert, well known contractor of this vicinity, had charge of the building of the structure in 1894.
Indirect lighting will be used throughout the building.
Cancellor Lindley, in commenting upon the change said, "There is only one thing to regret. That is the unfortunate death of Mrs. Thayer. It is with great sorrow that I realize she did not live to see her collection installed in the remodeled building which was her dream of many years."
