in a ladder that this week arrived this for him and wherein this passes of taking them out and selling them in the bookcases bookcases were the bookcases so 770 has four floors the first floor is devoted for the shul and for the officers which is the small town now the second floor is the apartment of the Philadelphia including the third floor is occupied for the revised son-in-law foreign was downstairs in the ground floor a large garage so they closed up the entrance for cars they built up pool cases and they filled it up with this photo so this was the second stage of construction in 770 one year later that's how it was for several more years actually the driving in to the garage the ground floor of 770 has a courtyard and a passage for the cars to come for Mr and Barkley and to go in to the garage this whole Courtyard and the driveway was devoted for activities for children for 770 for several years foreign ers and more used to be the verbanians in the South upstairs in the shul but so many sedim arrived and settled here in those years that that place wasn't possible anymore so they built up a shalash in this Courtyard and driveway shalash is kind of a suke with the owning roof which is larger than the small lazal and that's where the fabrangians was some of them larger Bangles like utas that wasn't enough they would rent a hall and the fabrina would be there but regulars would be there in the shalash and sometimes the davening Shabbos when there is a larger cout will also be in this shalash that was for several years foreign they have to build a shoe in top of this whole Courtyard and driveway they built a shoe which is the stroll downstairs in 770 under the courtyard it was better than the shalash but only for several years people more and more people see them came to settle here and that wasn't enough hey they purchased the next two buildings 784 and 788 kill Kingston then they built a extension to the shoe to make it larger feedable and enough for other sedim.com the first stage wasn't of shinch of zai where they took the bottom two floors of the 788 which is the basement the ground floor and the first floor they took off the floor that separates them and then they had a large tall place extended it to the old show so the show became twice as large the courtyard of 770 and the bottom floors of 788 that was enough for several years but no more sitting came constantly set setting themselves here and the place wasn't enough gimmel they connected that they extended the show till Kingston under the 7882 the same way they took off the partitions that flow between the ground floor and the first floor then there has there is a large tall place and they added it which now has three parts the courtyard of 770 the pattern flows of 784 and the pattern floors of 788 so now the show goes from 770 until Kingston that's for the show at the same time parallel to this they purchased the house the other side of 770. they purchased it for the cause of the Rebus Library all this foreign are gathering and sending to the rabbi that was still there no space to put it they would put it in storage houses here and there after they purchased it offshine they put up bookcases in the whole main floor and they feel that I put this foreign I was hired by the rabbit to run the library in Spring of Zion Ten Years Later then this whole floor main floor was packed with foreign and there was a lot of boxes of sperm that came during this time there was no space to put it so I put up bookcases in the whole ground floor of and we filled it up with sorry it was enough for another 2-3 years in tough Shin ma'am it wasn't enough but in the back of the house there was a drive a a large garage that driveway that we know that goes into 766 goes into the grass we closed the door for the cars to come into the garage and we put up bookcases in the whole garage and we filled it up with sorry in addition to that when they purchased 766 they built detachler in the backyard of a 766 and that's where it was for eight years not not where it's now now it is in the backyard of 770 then it was in the backyard of 766 they dug a well dip in the driveway of 766 about a hundred fish deep and from this well they had a pipe going to the backyard of 766 where they had attachment for the next eight years shouldn't have to walk till the botanic gardens as it was till then but this tastic was in the back of 766 for eight years still tough Shield mem what happened then Alice it became difficult for the river to walk home Shabbos by foot from 770 till his house and President Street so they set a corner in the library for the urban to stay at Chavez and yantev but it wasn't really a quarter for living because they would the dining room was in the middle of the room which is full of its for him the bedroom is in a room with that is full it's for him and so the other parts hold that so they decided to add one large room to this apartment should be a living room for the red and the rabbits and the Shabbos in order to do that they dismantled the tashler in the backyard of 766 they built it where it is now in the backyard of 770. and over there in the backyard of 766 they dug it up they built their tooth loss the ground floor became a extension to the storage House of the library there should be space to put in most for him that was enough for another ten thousands foreign to storage in the high bookcases that we put up there the second floor of that room in the backyard was the living room for the river and the Robinson that are extended to the dining room and bedroom and kitchen that was prepared for the urban dance that was enough for the scoring for another several years I especially after the court case where so many people used to bring in more and more for him there was everything packed in the bookcases so many boxes of storm we just couldn't take out of their boxes it was no space to put in them foreign responded I should write him a advice what I think should be done to prepare space for this for him for the immediate future and after I then spoke to Robert Linsky and then it was a middle of preparing the big large plan 47 building 770. in a way that should be a multiple story building the plan was that the bottom floor the large tall floor should be devoted for the shul the first floor on top of that should be devoted for the library and several floors in top of the library should be devoted for offices for the headquarters of Chabad Lubavitch the plans was ready early when they gave it into the red and they planned A hanukas Avenue and high l toftshin Memphis the rabbit came to participate in this Evanna Where I Stood on a bhime in the hotter of 784 he said and then he went down and he took a rack that he brought there to put it in to the holy Duggar there for the heaven appino and then he closed it up with sand that was Devon a Pina for the new building which is going to be for the shoe and the library and the offices of kabad foreign specific plans for the whole building that the architect prepared when the episode these plans he didn't okay them and he then spoke a secret and he explained himself this space is a living area there could be several floors but they shouldn't be tall building here with a lot of multiple flows so therefore what should be done Construction they should add to the shoe itself so then they prepare the plan to add at least to the show to the side of 770 kill the street we built a large extension and what about the library wrote to me then after Tisha foreign to prepare a plan to extend the library near where it is now I spoke to them but they didn't really have a normal proper plan for that another month or two passed by where there are the rights to me I should build I should make a bad opinion and together we shall prepare plants what to do to extend the library I then selected with me was a board of that opinion of three and doing the whole year we try to propel all kind of plants we had plans to buy off a building on Kingston but now there is Asia LeBron Hotel we both we prepare the plan how to buy off the building and Kingston then the lafayette's where there is a large stores now the rabbit didn't okay that we prepared a plan to buy a house and President Street and build their Library didn't okay that we propelled the plan to buy a house armisten Parkway and to build the library didn't okay that and then he wrote to us that the extension of the library should be built in the courtyard of 770 or in 770 itself is before Utah's kids left afternoon that the library is supposed to be built in the same place because the library in 770 in the grand flow so it should be extended there and not to look for other streets and other places where to buy the line build the library so we know that we have to build it there where should we build it there so after having a meeting between the three of us we came up with the idea that the only place is where there is now the circuit in the hotel in the courtyard of 770. to dig up the whole place and to build a storage room a large storage room under and in top of the roof of that storage room should continue to be the the courtyard of 770 as it is now this storage room this storage area under the courtyard in the ground floor combines the storage room of sporing in the ground forms level 70 and the storage room offs foreign in the ground floor of 766 that is now one large storage room that starts from the beginning of 770 until the end of 766 including the under Courtyard building that combines them when we started doing that you know that you cannot dig up a place and start building without a permit you know that we cannot get a permit without plans that the architect is preparing so it takes time we ex expl try to do it as fast as possible but it still takes time about two weeks after that of Shabbos before he took his love and hey Davis writes to us it takes way too long we have to start building the library that's what he all doesn't hate Davis what should we do we cannot dig without a permit itself should also be part of the library so we took the touch floor it was the apartment of the rashaga that passed away into and was then prepared to the library we took off all the petitions we did not needn't for that a permit and it took us two three weeks to complete preparing it for the exhibition that is now till today until we finished this construction of the exhibition in the third floor of 770 we already get the pyramid and then came the Machinery to dig up the whole Courtyard of 770. we built it in a way that the bookcases should go on tracks in other ways that we should only one aisle in the whole building so twice as many bookcases fit in there so it was enough for this following for the next 20 years foreign books are still coming in every day and there is no space to put a so in that time there was purchased the next house to 766 which is 760. where it has three floors the ground floor is the offices of the Shiva the first floor of law was built for a apartment for the hazard Yale and the second floor was devoted for a large storage room to add for the library but obviously when you have a regular apartment the beams are not strong enough for a storage room of story so they had to rebuild the whole floor and walls and ceiling it took some time finally we'll finish that and hey tables topshin pay base a year and a half ago and that gave us enough space to put all this foreign are a building VA benefits but arai isman in very speedily we should all go to Heritage soil with machete cleaner
