ediiro is nearly completed, end, together with
jdrvis buildings and the Franklin Bank build
iIgs in the immediate vicinity, adds much to
the mercantile appcHranco OF the central part
Of tive city. it fronts ca Baltimore st 50 feet,
on South st. SO feet, aud is five stories high
There are three finely finished rooms IN The
b s,nent, and hrce on every floor, except the
iih, which comprises one spacious hall: in all
lG rJoms, An entry or stairway opens from
either street, 50 that the upper stories are dis
connected from the stores below. The three
stores on the first floor are Commodious and
handsomely finished, ard are rented, the cor
ncr one to Mr.. Joshua Nansant, as a hat store,
/ the next TO Mrs. BNnnCrman, as lace store,
and the third to MIR. j. f. Bird, as a dry goods
store. The most remarkable features IN the
whole building are JohnsDn's patent iron FIRE
proof window shutters, which give to the stores
an air of solidty and security. They are con-
struCted of iron, and by the simple means Of n
small crank inside can be raised or lowered as
occasion may require. This invention, though
/ more extensively used in Northern cities, is a
novelty here; but we are confident that when
its advantages over the common shu ter be-
come generally known, lis utility will be appre-
ciated. it is undoubtedly Il sure protection
against burglars and ncendiaries
This building was erected under the charge
of Mcssrs. Ii. s ]. Reynolds builders; Mr..
Jas. Allen executed the bLick-work; Slr. John
u. Sharp, the painting; Mr. Elisha Bnnix, the
plastcring; and Messgs. Emory s. Gault the
Granite work. The roof is covered with the
best American slate, from the Susquehannah
