The new Tammany Hall had a large room that could accommodate up to 2,000 people for political and social events, while the rest of the building was run as a hotel . The Society was to remain there for 55 years . </P> <P> By the 1860s, Tammany under Tweed had much greater influence--and affluence . So new headquarters was deemed desirable .

(The building at Nassau and Frankfort was sold to Charles Dana and his friends, who bought a newspaper, The Sun, and moved it there .) </P> <P> When the leaders of the Society found that they had not raised sufficient funds, and needed $25,000 more, a meeting was held at which $175,000 was immediately pledged . The new Wigwam was completed in 1868 .

The basement--in the French mode--offered the Café Ausant, where one could see tableaux vivant, gymnastic exhibitions, pantomimes, and Punch and Judy shows . There was also a bar, a bazaar, a Ladies' Cafe, and an oyster saloon . All this--with the exception of Bryant's--was open from seven till midnight for a combination price of fifty cents . </P>
