of two galleried halls at different levels, with a broad corridor 

 extending along the eastern side. Each hall is 100 feet long by 

 47 feet wide, while the balconies are only 6 feet wide, except at 

 the northern end in each hall, wdiere the width is much greater.

 a clock tower about 100 feet high. As seen in Fig. 37, the lecture
