A Second Floor Corridors on the Balcony of The Great Hall

There is a balcony above the Great Hall, consisting of four second-floor corridors, each with an intricately decorated vaulted ceiling. The ceiling in the North Corridor sports brightly colored paintings by Robert Reid and rectangular panels by Frederic C. Martin; Reid's five octagonal paintings depict representations of the five senses, and Martin's panels portray six scenes of ancient athletes participating in sporting events. On the East Corridor's vaulted ceiling, one can find three panels by William Andrew MacKay, representing the Life of Man, accompanied by quotes from literature. Lining the vaulted ceiling on both side are eight paintings by Randolph Barse, Jr., meant to represent different genres of literature.
