About
The North Hall structure was originally a First Church of Christ, Scientist, built in 1911. Its Greek Revival design has a six-columned portico, fluted ionic columns and decoratively paned windows. The foyer welcomes visitors into a large, pillared, terrazzo floored hall with a lit canopy arching across the entire expanse of this former sanctuary. The building opened to the public as the Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum in the summer of 2006.
