1MPRevEMENrs ON cRoGHAN -sf.

the business part of the city were on State
Street, the new blocks of fading & Helm
and FRENTzEL d HALLFR, adding very
| materially TO the appearance and business of
that street. This season Croghan street is
getting its share in the shape of two new
blocks near Front Street and the fine School
House on the hill.
TYLER'S NEW BLOCK.
The fist building brought to completion
was Tyler's New Block which joins the
rear of his old one and covers a front of
43 feet. The contract for this building
was let by Mr.. TyLTR in 1860, for 81 500,
but when the war broke out, matters were
SO unsettled that the parties agreed to re-
scind the contract and the project was not
revived until last fall.
The entire block is 43x57 feet, is built in
substantial style, with heavy stone founds-
ton, iron trimmings and tin roof, and is
entirely fire proof. The contract for the
walls was filed by DUNNINe d CRAMER, and
the carpenters work was done by GEORGE
BIxLER, the materials bling furnished from
EDGERToN's Factory. The entire cost of the
building was between 81 600 and So 600.
On the first floor, there are two rooms, the
first 10x57 feet which is already occupied by
the NJ. U. Express office and the Tobacco
Store and Cigar Factory of OrrENHEIMER,
and the secord 22x57, which contains the
new Restaurant of DEAL & FoT. The second
story is reachedby broad stairway between
the old and new blocks, leading directly TO
the neat Ladies Oyster Rooms, and the new
Billiard Hall. The rooms are all well finish
ed and furnished.
On the opposite side of Croghan Street
PERRY CLOSE has been making improve
ments not less marked. A new block with
front of 80 and depth of 10 feet and two
stories high is now nearly completed on the
lot purchased last spring from Mr.. F. S.
WHITE. The building stands higher than
the old one, giving fine basement rooms,
which will furnish cheap and convenient
storage room. The building is entirely fire
proof, with tin roof, iron trimmings and is
built with the intention of raising it another
story at some future time. There will be
three ROOMS below, one l8x60 and two l0x7O
feet. Two of them will be occupied by
CLOSE, the first as an enlargement Of bis
present rooms and the second as Flour
Store The third has been purchased by
DR.. AMEs, and will probably be occupied by
him as an office The rooms above are
divided by an east and west hall which gives
front rooms of I8x25 aud rear store rooms
of I8x40 feet. Two of the front rooms,
which are easy of access by bread stair
way, are to be occupied by Csc. oLAGHoRS,
one of them as Ladies' Oyster Room.
The walls of the building were put up by
DuKNINe and the woodwork by SrEIRwALT.
The front will be very handsome one, the
lights of glass in the doors being 5 feet ,
inches by 2 feet, and those of the windows,
feet by 2 feet 4inches. The cost of the
building will be about $4,000 besides the
cost of the ground which was $4,000
A temporary plank walk has been laid
before the block for present use Next
spring the whole pavement from Frcnt street,
will be raised to level with the rew build
ing and ielaid with tagging.
