-,b and sth streets, two magnificent stores which
now begin TO exhibit their beauty and fair proper
tjons a. they near their completion. They are
three stories in height each front OF "a feet, and
depth of 80 feet; the front beautifully worked, with
ornamental heads 10 windows, Sc, made of terra
cofa and cO!Ored dark drab, making prominent
appearance 10 the pasSer by the principal avenue
ofthe city-PennsyIvan avenue-wlere all visiterS
and people continually thrOng. The building has
annie accommodations on the three floors, with
baches-ways for hosting and lowering goods, to be
arranged in modern style. We learn that Messrs.
Perry 4 Brother, and Messrs. Wm NJ. Shuster &
Co. large dry goods dealers of This city, are oc-
cupy these extensive establishments, and will pre-
.rnt an appearance in fineness of stores aud ware
ruoms and general assOrtmenis of goods, equal To
many of the principal mercantile palaces at the
North. II is fully expected that they will be com
D ted on or before the LIST of November, after
which these gentlemen will move in. The building
is a decided ornament to that prominent section of
Washington city. Mr. Joseph Bryon, carpenter, was
Mr. I
layer; Messrs. Brown Sussey, plasteres; Messrs.
spadins and Parker, Painters. Pipes are being
deeply laid for the complete drainage of the cellars.
and no expense seems TO be spared to make these
marts OF trade among the most splendid, if not the
most - of aus in the Metropolis.
