Harvard House.

The Harvard Club of New York City is building for itself on Forty-fourth street, west of Fifth avenue, a permanent home to be known as "Harvard House." This action has excited unusual interest because heretofore no single association of college alumni has attempted a similar experiment.

The house now in the course of construction is of the Boston type of Colonial architecture, built of Harvard brick with Indiana limestone trimmings. It is three stories in height.

When opened next year, the new house will probably have the effect of largely increasing the scope of the Harvard Club. It is likely that many class and college entertainments will be given, and much will be done in the way of receiving delegations or athletic teams visiting New York.
