On the second floor of their Assembly Hall the Harmonists built this 100 by 52 foot room, which they used for concerts, civic and religious celebrations, large receptions for visiting dignitaries. Here, too, they held their love feasts, a practice also held by the Moravians in their settlements in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley.
