Description
Horticultural Hall had many uses. It was the meeting place for PHS members, housed its library, and was the venue for shows. It was also used as a rental facility. Shown here is a banquet held in the late 1880s for the Master Builder's Exchange, seating 750. This second Horticultural Hall was also home to the Florists Club of Philadelphia, which had a bowling alley where matches among florists were routinely held.
