I’m proud to say that my cousin is among those honored for his service with the GAR at Soldiers and Sailors. Fought at Gettysburg for the PA Cavalry. Survived the War of Insurrection.

Never stepped foot in this building, when I was in school. Don't even think I ever walked up those steps or step foot on the grass either.

I didn't either until afterwards. I had no idea there was a huge auditorium in there either.

It’s a gorgeous building. I remember walking down the hill after a hoops game and they were filming part of Silence of the Lambs. We were wondering what was the deal with all the police cars and then we found out it was the movie.

I saw that back then too. And the police cars were from another area, so that really confused me.

Used as a concert venue over one-hundred years ago. The famous composer Gustav Mahler conducted a concert there with the New York Philharmonic on tour in 1909.

Why isn't used more as a concert hall these days? Acoustics? You'd think it would have been busy after Syria Mosque closed. Unless they restrict it's use.
