It was several stories high, and each story contained private rooms. Carriages drove directly into the building from the street and the occupants went by elevator to soundproof rooms above, where they were served by discreet waiters.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
