At Sixty-fifth and Haverford avenue one of the old Centennial buildings is still standing, although it is rapidly falling into decay and can last but a short time longer. During the Centennial this structure was know as the American Newspaper Building. It is a frame building, two stories in height and of Swiss architecture. It was originally located on what was the called Fountain avenue, near the lake, within the Centennial grounds. It contained a large hall and a reading room, supplied with newspapers and periodicals. It was transferred to the present site in 1878.
