completed the erection of two new houses Mt
the corner of Ninth and West Streets. They
are two stories high, with roofs in the French
style winch makes them really three story
houses, the upper one being as high and Ms
wel-hnished in every particular as any
other part OF the buildings. They are built
oi beautiful brick in a workmanlike manner.
They are great improvement to that section
OF our city. The plastering was done by
MIR. George Houseman, and is executed in a
credltable manner. These edifices have all
the modern improvements necessary for the
comforts OF the inmates, and are built upon
q plan TO render them desirable as residences.
| The rooms are arranged with entries running
through the centre of the building, and con.
scquently are all private, or in other words
access can be had to any room in the house
without passing through or interfering with
the others. In every part of the houses great
material, none but the very best being used.
and every part of the work is finished in an
I artistic and durable manner. They are large
and commodious each house containing six
teen rooms. From the upper story we
have fine view Of the surrounding country.

only houses, we believe, of that style of
architecture in Wilmington, and are fine
ornament to our city.
