Desirable Improvements. The improvements
now going forward at the corners of Baltimore
and North and South streets, will, when COM
pleted, add greatly to the appearance and va
lue of property in that neighborhood. The
building on the southwest corner, owned by
Miss Rachel Colvin, is now being torn down.
In its place is to be erected an elegant five sto-
ry house, with front of 20 feet on Baltimore,
and SO feet Oh South street The brick work
will be supported on cast iron columns fourteen
inches square, which are of rather novel con-
struetion, land substituted IN place ofgrante, be-
ing more impervious to the effects of fire. The
first story will be IL feet high from the ground
floor to the ceiling, with 4 cellar. The second
story is to have ornamental bow windows, and
the whole building finished in manner of
taste and elegance, suitable to its eligible and
public locatien-al under the direction and SUI
pervision of Messrs. H. s. ]. Reynolds, arch-
tects and builders. The work of Improvement
is also observable on the northwest corner of
this square, where Nr. Leonard Jarvis is hav-
ing built, under the superintendent of Messrs.
Reynolds s. Co., a very large.and elegant row
of buildings, designed for stores, offices, &c.
The brick work by Mr.. Joseph Nuegues. The
old franklin Bank property, on the northeast
corner of Baltimore and North sts., and still
owned by that institution, is as soon as practi-
cable, to be taken down, and replaced with
capacious new building, to be rented out also
for Offices, stores, SC This, we believe, has
been contracted for by Mr.. Daniel Dale archi.
tect and builder. 1t will thus be rendered very
valuable and elegant property When all these
improvements shall have been completed, no
square or location in the city will possess grea
ter advantages for the kind ofbusness that will
naturally be attracted towards its.
