The hall will be of formal design,
worthy of balls and receptions. In
a formal foyer are spaces for beau-
ty salon, a flower and gift shop and
studio efficiency apartments on its
mezzanine floor.
On the second floor of the main
building, there will be a number of
guest suites for the convenience of
every club woman who is stopping
in Austin from time to time, either
in passing through or making an
overnight stop, or stopping for the
purpose of visiting with either rel-
atives or friends living in Austin,
or who are a part of the University
of Texas.
In every detail it has been the
desire of all those working in har-
mony and a complete understand-
ing of this building, to make it a
home and not a public building, in
the main sense of the word, but
rather to have a building of charm
and welcome, even though of some-
what semi-monumental appearance.

Plans for the building were drawn
by Henry Coke Knight, architect of
Dallas, who met with the committee
Tuesday.
The building which comprises ap-
proximately an area within itself of
136x145 feet, and which will be built
on the corner of San Gabriel and
24th streets on the. Cochran prop-
erty in the university neighborhood,
will be of colonial design, using old
colonial red brick in soft and varied
tapestry shades with stone entrance
and a tile and slate roof.
Through the portico of columns,
entrance is to be made under the
great pediment into a vestibule, in
whose floor will be worked a. de-
sign of the Lone Star of Texas and
the shield for the Texas Federation
of Women’s clubs in mosaic tile.
Typical of the old colonial plan the
reception suite is in the center of
the building, flanked on either side
by ample and spacious lounge and
library rooms, which in turn connect
through north and south arcades
with the art gallery on one wing
and a tea room with kitchen and
service facilities on the other wing.
The tea room can also be used as
a private dining or banquet hall on
such occasion as may be necessary.
In direct connection with the library
is the reading and writing room,
dedicated to the veterans of the
world war. Here in an oriole window
will be housed the three bronze mem-
orial tablets* the larger and most
important of the three bearing to
posterity the names of the first one
thousand women who contribute one
hundred dollars to the building fund.
The office will be located in the
center of the building and it has
complete control of the entire group-
building together with an outside
entrance from the street through a
court yard, which affords indepen-
dent entrance for trades-people and
inquirers of a general nature, who,
for their convenience, do not have
to come through the main building
to attend their business.
There will be spaces provided to
house the archives, permanent rec-
ords, vaults and all other business
pertaining to the seven districts of
the federated clubs. In connection
with the office is a lobby, which
leads through to an auditorium,
housing such stage facilities as will
make it practicable for rental pur-
