Description	The press room of the Woman's National Daily building was 200 feet long, 85 feet wide and 36 feet high. It was designed by artist Ralph Chesley Ott in the striking Egyptian motif that was one of the building's major attractions. The major source of light for the room was the skylight. In this photograph, fabric draping covers the underside of the skylight, possibly to filter the light or to keep the building cooler during the summer months. The enormous Goss printing press is on the left. This press was reported to be the largest press in the world, and could produce 5,000 completed copies of "The Woman's National Daily" per minute.
