On the corner of Second and Linn sts.,

shop and wareroom for his Stove Store,

the "burnt district" Starting again from
the court house, we have,
8. THE BANK BUILDING, erected by
Messrs. Daniel d Rathbum and D. Reed,
on the corner Of Court and Second streets.
This is three story, fre-proof brick, iron
front, substantial building, designed for q
Banking g-house and Drug Store. 1t is Al
#. front, by Sc #. on Second st. The lst
or lower story is IA #. high, and the walls
l8 inches thick. A thick partition wall il
built in the centre, from cellar to roof
In the Banking House, a ponderous yaul
is built, which seems capable Of resisting
even the most desperate attempts Of tn
7 most desperate Of burglars. Its dimen
J sions we cannot give precisely, but from
!. the time and labor consumed in its con
/; struetion, the quantity and size of rock
: used, the huge iron doors, and all that, W
! imagine there is but little danger that an,
4 burglar will ever find his way into it. Th
a second story of this building will be 10
s and the third II #. The walls in the 2,
i and Sd stories are l3 inches thick. W
presume this is the most costly and sub
9 stantial of the new buildings erected here
? Next to this, we have several temporar
frames, occupied for stores, &c,, whic
9 will probably soon be torn away, and Civ
It place to substantial brick edifces. The
