way arcade, similar to that of
thethe Lowther arcade in the

o_ South-Eastern Railway
the
Company, on the left-hand si.ilhee. lapproach to their
terminus, on the property in .1
ratherirossession abutting upon
'i'ooley-street. The design is an elegant one, and
consists of a successioti of shops.oi either side for the sale of
fancy anti other articles in requisition by railway travellers,
thorougL-
with a large refreshment room in the centre of the
fare which fronts the railway terminus. The building,
between 100 feet and 200 feet in length, has its basement in
Tooley-street, from whence it rises upwards of 60 feet, divided
into two stories of 30 feet each, the upper elevation forming
the arcade, on a level with the railway, and the lower part
in ,street, forming a range of ordinary shops. There
are rooms above the shops, and the floors throughout the
building are file-Proof. The frant is to be in the Italian
style of architecture, and the building, upon which a large
number of men have been at work for the last two months,
is to be completed and open by Christmas.
