h I:01.1.a Eon:ices—ln yearn past, one of the
tilos( tenons faults of the American people has
been their almost universal disposition to Sacri
fice beauty to utility in everything Where attrac
tivenesii wan not absolutely necessary to tho
whichful
the article was
fiiime°t of the purposeto was tis charac'
to be dedicated. In no direction .
teristic wore marked than in American architec
ture. Our churches and secular buildings have,
been simply. uncouth piles of brick
nntil late]},
and mortar, except in cases where aspiring
b ung lers attempted much and succeeded in pro
ducing a conglomeration of known and unknown
yles—our dwellings have been all cast in pre-
Iliely the same mould, and our stores have sim
ply served the purposes of buying and selling.
This carelessness of beauty in building was per
haps a necessary consequence of our youth, and
the offspring of that feeling which induced our
forefathers to Maid houses without regard to any
thing but the absolute necessity of having a house
that would keep out vsend and weather.
But we have grown more aesthetleal of late
-years. Men begin at last to realize that beauty
and utiliey can' be combined without any sacri
fice of either, but that the beautiful has its own
uses, and that it is most attractive when it is de
veloped in the weed, rather than when it stands
by itself, serving no purpose. but to -please the
-eye. The growth of thissfeeling is evident in the
rapidity with which edifiCes, artistic and graceful
in design, are springing up throughout this city.
Not only in the case of private dwellings, but in .
the splendid temples"of confmeree, whore trade
—the source of the world's wealth, and the
parent of the world's civilization—gathers its
votaries.
On Chestnut street above Tenth,- in this city,
rstands a white marble edifice, which for months
past has attracted the attention of passers by,
and whioh, as an ornament to Philadelphia, de-
.
serves something more than a passing notice
from those whose duty it is to record the growth
in wealth, culture and elegance of our people.
This store has been built by Mr. J. M. Fltifleigh,
the well known dry goods merchant of this city.
and it is to be devoted to his business. To those
who have not examined the interior it may
seem like exaggeration to assert that it is
not only the handsomest establishment of
the kind on this continent, but in the
world. The great marts of commerce in
Europe, filled as they are with noble specimens
of architecture. do not contain a single bailding
devoted exclusively to trade. which will compare
with this one. in extenteffeet and general beauty
c,f design and finish. An elaborate description '
of this magnificent edifice will not prove unin
teresting to our readers, and will prepare them
for the opening of the building to tee public,
when there will of course be an- immense crowd
present.
First, then. the dimensions of the buildin g are
, li" , feet front on Chestnut street. by 230 feet deep
on &lissom street. The front on Chestnut street,
is 70 feet high from the pavement. The front
building us three-stories high. The back building
two-stories. The first-story is 22 feet from floor
to floor. The second:story is 20 feet from floor
to floor. The third-story is 20 feet high in the
clear. In front the basement is 11 feet in height
from the floor. The style of architecture adopted
is the pure Elizabethan,and the exterior and inte
rior decorations are in complete harmony with the
classic models of this , school. The front is con
structed of the yens best' quality of line white
marble, finished in 'the most perfect and sub
stantial manner. the columns. pilasters. cornices
and mouldings being very bold and well relieved.
The walls are unusually thick. The main floor
is supported with girder and iron columns
through the centre. The ceiling of the main
floor is divided into panels. and cads of these
panels is frescoed with an exquisite design. The
girders are 22 inches deep, constructed of wood '
and iron.
The main portion of the interior is lighted by
seven immense skylights, of curious construc
tion. The design is original with Mr. Hafleigh.
The light is taken from the north, and passes to
the floor through an open gallery 105 feet long,
be 20 feet wide. The object was to produce the
precise effect of the atmosphere, and the result
is all that - was anticipated. The light is soft
and beautiful. and amply sufficient for the ek
amination of the finest goods and the
most delicate shades of color. The gal
lery alluded to is surrounded by
a carved railing which for beauty and tasteful
ness surpasses anything of the. kind in the
e otuatry. It is simply a marvel of art, and such
. will be the verdict of the public when they ex
anaine it. It is surmonted by antique bronze
pedestal chand li
P..ftrg of nnio r ins , d.aign.
. Throughout the building the ceilings and walls
are covered with paintings in fresco, but they
differ from those in common use, not only in the
superiority of their execution and coloring,but in
the fact that they are placed upon canvas in
stead of on the 'plaster, and are consequently
characterized by a delicacy of finish not obtaina
ble under the ordinary plan.
The first floor of the. building is divided be a
•sery rich screen composed of fine Corinthian
columns. and ornamented entablatures. support
ing au elaborate frieze. leaving a room 1.; feet
square,whlch wilibe devoted to the sale of cloaks.
Eilawls. &c. In the rear of this is the vestibule
leading to the Sansom street entrance, which is
ornamented be stained glass windows of beautiful
patterns, producing s novel and 6urplisiw effect.
Upon one s:de of this vestibule is "dark parlor".
y
desemed for the es:Whitton of #ods by gaslight.
Thii, room is handsomely nested and richly
decorated. Opposite 4 to/fts Is the offiee, which
is also coniplisie in its ,-* 'tails.
The second Etocc: ; ; o 2 not le - ,- attractive in its
feature=. thantlimain store, but is embellished
with the E . anscol, rofusion of ornament, Tine win
dows in tint rear are psrticelarly noticeable. for
they r:yel in their beauty those in the vestibule
below. This room will be devoted to manufac
turing r.ureoses. not the least important dep ,rt
meet of which, will be that of ladies' dress-mak-
iv*, to which Mr. Hatieigh will devote a large
space, r,-.2d employ a competer4-corps of skilful
r.rtists.. shelving throughout the edifice is
novel and anti(Jic in design and is faced with
black walnut, pioducing a very fine effect. The
arrangements for a supply of water and for all
the modern conveniences incident in large estab
lishments. arel very complete: The building is
heated bY, `Rand's Patent Portable Furnaces,
and an equo'lle temperature is kept up. The plate
glass 'windows in front are JO bylis feet in area.
This much for the details of the building,.
And now. in conelusion.,ltwilt 'be simply ne
cessary to say that those who attend the grand
opening on Monday next, when Mr. Halleigh
will display a fresh stock of elegant goods of all
kinds, despite this apparently enthusiastW de
scription. will find that the first impression as
they enter the store will be one of surprise and
delight for words cannot convey more than an
indthtinet idea of the superb proportions of this
building. of the beautiful effect of the ornamen
tation,and of the workmanship bestowed upon it.
- It would be interesting to take note of the
exclamations which will fail from the lips of
N'oitors, rho examine it for the first time. Mr.
Hathigh has done a great and noble work in
airing this edifice to Philadelphia. It is not only
an ornament to the city, but actually an adver
tiF,emont of it. for the tame of his establishment
y:111 be carried abroad. and add to the reputa
, tion 01 the city.
Mr. S. D. Button. the architect, has also done
great credit to his genius as an artist in his work
upon this
The carpenter and builder who superintended
the construction of the building is Mr. John
Fiercham.who has added greatly to his reputation
the skill he has displayed here. The gas fix
