The building was entirely reâ€" fitted to suit the needs of the new occupant at a cost of $20,000, entireâ€" ly under Mr. Mann‘s direction and according to his plans. It is interesting to know that the Alden studio (now to be known as "Alden") was originally named for Mr. and Mrs. Harris‘ son Alden.
