PHILA.

McComb succeeded in inducing the build-
ing committee to substitute marble for
“the front and two end views,” upon the
plea that “this building is intended to en-
dure for ages,” and that “in an archi-
tectural point of view, in fact, is to give
character to our city.” The marble used
in the building was procured from quarries
at We'st Stockbridge, Massachusetts,
though great difficulty was experienced in
transporting it over the Berkshire Hills by
teams of horses and oxen, and McComb
himself supervised the building of roads
and the strengthening of bridges. He kept
a record in what he termed his “Marble
Book” of the material as it was received,
each block being accurately described, and
this shows that 35,271 cubic feet of marble
were used, costing a trifle over thirty-five
thousand dollars.
Many delays were encountered in the
progress of the work, due chiefly to the re-
fusal of the aidermen to grant appropria-
tions, and on December 1, 1807, it had ad-
vanced only so far as the second story
window sills, though the original estimate
of cost had been far exceeded. On July 4,
1811, the building was so far completed
that formal opening ceremonies were held,
but it was not occupied until the following
year. The total cost was about five hun-
dred thousand dollars.
The history of the city prior to this
period shows that the provincial and muni-
cipal administrations had always been
closely associated. As far back as the
time of Stuyvesant, he had claimed and
exercised the right as governor to preside
at meetings of the city council, and in
later years considerable business of the
State was conducted in the City Hall. It
was natural, therefore, that in the new
building a room should be set apart “for
the use and accommodation of the person
administering the government of this
State.” The center front room on the
second story was assigned for this purpose,
and on one of McComb’s drawings is desig-
nated as the “Governor’s Room.”
Although completed earlyiin 1813, the
room remained unfurnished until April
15,1814, when the State legislature passed
an act providing:
“That it shall be lawful for the Common
Council of the City of New York to cause
the room in the new City Hall of the City
of New York, set apart by the corporation
of the said city for the use and accom-
modation of the person administering the
government of this State, to be furnished in
a suitable manner, and the treasurer on
the warrant of the comptroller, pay the
amount of the expenses thereof, not ex-
ceeding one thousand dollars.”
Shortly afterward the common coun-
cil appropriated this amount, and the rec-
ords show expenditures for carpets and
curtains, but the remaining furnishings ap-
pear to have been those which were brought
from Federal Hall. A collection of por-
traits was soon commenced, that of George
Washington being the first, and here have
been preserved his desk, as well as the
writing desk of President Adams, which
were used by them when New York was
in fact the capital of the country. On ac-
count of the collection of paintings, which
grew rapidly, the room was often referred
to as the “Picture Room” or “Portrait
Room.” Here it may be assumed many
of the governors, whose portraits now dec-
orate the walls, were entertained by the
