53 The central entrance opens into the main hall, 12 x 68, which opens onto the playground in the rear. At the west end of this hall is found a double stairway which a little over half way up merges into one grand stairway leading to the main hall of the floor. This hall opens into a large lecture hall in the front of the building, 30 x 68. The rostrum is at the east end of the hall and behind it are three small rooms for cloak or dressing rooms. Two of these open onto the long and spacious balcony. On the right of the hall as one reaches the head of the stairway is found an art studio, 18 x 16, opening into a commercial and art department room, 26 x 35. On the left is found the specimen room, where cases will line the walls for the geological, minaralogical, zoological, botanical and other collections. This room opens into the scientific and classic departments, also 26 x 35. From the specimen room a stairway descends into a laboratory which forms the upper story of an addition on ths rear of the north wing. Near the specimen room and the art studio are two toilet rooms, two others being found under the spiral stairway. The lower story of the addition will be used for the boilers and steam heating apparatus. One feature very striking to an observer is the many windows allowing a flood of light to enter the rooms, and also perfect ventilation. The building will be heated by steam and lighted by electricity. Electric bells will be used throughout the house. The institution has a seating capacity of 500 students. It has cost, with the land and furnishings, $40,000. In the rear of the building are found the playground, and the janitor's residence. When fully completed, painted and papered, with a lovely lawn and neat fence in front of it, the structure will present a handsome and imposing, yet cheerful and airy appearance. The interior arrangements were designed by Professor Moench, the architectural style by Samuel T. Whitaker and the contractor has been John M. D. Taylor. Only the lower floor will be used to commence with. The faculty has been secured, among which are Professor Moench, principal, and Professor Tollestrup, formerly the principal of the Morgan Stake Academy. The school hours will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The opening of this institution will be hailed with joy. It has been closed down for a year and a half owing to a lack of proper school room facilities. The lack is new remedied and the academy will henceforth be one of the leading educational institutions in Weber County.1 1. Deseret News, November 23, 1891.
