Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Oration, Poem, Speeches, Chronicles, &C., At the Dedication of the Malden Town Hall, on Thursday Evening, October 29th, 1857
The building is a noble one, constructed in what may very properly be called an American style of architecture, differing somewhat from any of the foreign styles. The building is 86 feet long, by 55 feet wide, and constructed of face bricks, with free-stone trimmings, and a cast iron front to the principal story.
The cellar is surrounded by thick granite walls, and divided by brick partitions into apartments for fuel, &c. For the occupants of the several parts of the building. The entrances to the cellar are by bulk heads from the outside, and convenient stairways from the principal story.
The principal story is 12 feet high, and divided into two large and spacious stores in front, with a ten feet passage way leading to three large and convenient rooms for the town offices in the rear, and also two circular stairways leading to the main hall above.
