This building is ninety-six feet six inches fronting Walnut street, and one hundred and forty-six feet in depth on Ninth street ; the principal features of the front are composed of mar- ble, and the rest rough-cast to correspond. Its ele- Theatres, 145 vation is forty -four feet, comiiosed of rusticated wings perforated with well proportioned niches, and be- tween the wing's is a colonnade, composed of six marble columns, that support a bold architrave en- tablature. Three decorative Grecian l...amps stand on the plinth between the columns, and add much to the finish of the front. The entrance into the boxes and pit is by a flight of seven marble steps, extending sixty-five feet, the whole length of the colonnade in front, leading to four folding doors, one disposed between each group of columns.
