Drawings show the columned front, the side view with the auditorium in the back, and the back view of the building showing drain pipes. Originals are from the Wallace Bruce Family Papers (Collection M1997-04), University Archives and West Florida History Center, University of West Florida Libraries, Pensacola. Dating of blueprints is based that on March 25, 1899 a special ceremony was held whereby United States Senator John B. Gordon and Wallace Bruce laid the corner-stone of the future Hall of Brotherhood on a day that Bruce called "National Day." [information from the Program of the Florida Chautauqua, 1899. [Our Fifteenth Year, 1884-1899] notes events of March 25, 1899, titled “National Day.” Bruce may have called this day ‘National Day’ because it was that holiday in Scotland, and nicely coincided with the plans to dedicate the corner-stone of the new ‘national’ building. See also advertisement for the Florida Chautauqua March 25 th events, Pensacola News, March 22, 23, 1899.]
