110 YEARS AGO
One of the largest and most enjoyable social functions in years in this city was the reception given Friday night by Mr. and Mrs. Frank H. Bresee and Mr. and Mrs. Lynn H. Bresee in the handsome new block just completed on Wall Street for the Oneonta Department Store annex, at which about 500 guests were present. Surprise and amazement were expressed on the faces of all the guests as they entered the spacious building which is 44 by 166 feet, both floors last evening resembling to a marked degree a large ball room of a metropolitan hotel in appointments, and it proved a most admirable place for such an event, with ample floor space for the dancers. The two floors are each one large room and finished in white with steel ceilings and hard white walls with maple floors, all of which combined with innumerable electric lights and the tasty arrangement of autumn foliage. Wolcott’s 10-piece orchestra commenced the music and guests were served a delicious collation by Caterer Claude S. Becker.
