Description of Subject Matter: Beyond the Members’ Center, in the southwest corner of the building, the Members’ Room was originally a reading room for members of the Academy. On the walls above the dark walnut panels are stylized insignias of eight of the world’s great universities of the 1920s. During the restoration, conservators cleaned and removed over-painting, returning the imagery to its original grandeur. The carving on the fireplace is an art deco rendering of the Academy’s seal. This room, which is now used for meetings and social functions, also contains a display case that provides information about the Academy’s medals and awards.

Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
