The building itself was to be built by Mr. Guy Lowell of Boston, Massachusetts.
He was an American architect, living from August 6, 1870 to February 4, 1927. He was the son of Mary Walcott (Goodrich) and Edward Jackson Lowell. When the building was finished in 1907, its overall price was around $100,000. When looked upon from afar, it seemed to be made of white marble, a grand illusion, indeed. But, when close enough, one could see that the building was actually made out of wood and stucco. Panels on the front and back were reproductions of the frieze on the Parthenon in Athens. From the inside, three seven-foot panels of glass gave another illusion; that of being outdoors. No one from these times has any idea what the inside looks like, and no photographs exist portraying the surely majestic interior design.
