The sensitively designed assembly hall consciously imitates the Pavilion ( HM9.5) across the lawn, which was built more than 100 years earlier. Of concrete block faced with brick, the one-story building is fronted by a long porch with Tuscan columns. Numerous doors opening to the porch give the illusion of individual rooms within and help maintain a small scale. Over every other column stylized laurel wreaths, something of a leitmotif in Capon's architecture, decorate the frieze of the entablature.
