Home » About The House Chamber -- The Well
 
The Well
The lectern in front of the Clerk’s desk is known as “the well.” Before microphones were installed at each desk, there was a spot on the floor of an earlier Chamber from which a Member could easily be understood when addressing the House. The acoustics of this spot were said to be highly resonant, as if the Member were speaking down a well. Members may be ask to approach “the well” to address the House on a matter of particular importance.
