附录: 关于纽约州商会大楼

         Chamber of Commerce of the State of New York (网上资料)

This massive marble building, built at the turn of the century, is notable for its grandeur and rich detail. It is outstanding today as a relatively low but impressive building surrounded by skyscrapers. The owners have preserved this fine building which stands as a symbol of the importance of the Chamber of Commerce in the community. It houses their priceless picture gallery. A splendid row of Ionic columns set on a heavy masonry base is surmounted by a handsome copper-crested Mansard roof with three great dormer windows.

Historically, this building is notable as housing the Chamber of Commerce of the State of New York, an organization which was founded in Fraunces Tavern in 1768.

In its use of fine materials, carving and other details, the Chamber of Commerce Building represents a fine example of French Renaissance Eclectic architecture. Through the boldness of its elements and the deep shadows they cast, it stands as a powerful design demonstrative of the importance of the Chamber of Commerce of the City.
