now nearly ready, in all It's parts,
for the various business uses for
which it was Designed. 1t towers
up in all its foe proportions, an
ornament to both streets, an honor
to the proprietor who planned the
enterprise, signal monument Of
the skill cf the architects and
builders who designed and put into
form the beautiful pile as it now,
stands. Messrs. HENRY ORMAN &
soNs, have in this job fully sus-
tanned their high reputation, and
executed a work which will not
lose in the comparison with any Of
similar character in any city Of
the second class in the State.
In the matter Of adaptation to its
objects, these buildings are no less
a success than in that Of their i'm
posing appearance. Beginning at
the foundation, the basement and
cellar facilities are ample and con-
venient, occupying the entire space
beneath tho superstructure. The
/ first floor Of the Main street build
ing is divided into three large busi.
ness rooms. Theone at the east end
Will soon be opened as a wholesale
and retail grocery store by Messrs.
PArRAN & MARTIN, who win have
perhaps the finest roomin the city
for thatline ofbnsiness. The CEN
tro room, which presents an equal
front on each side of broad stair
way leading TO the second floor, is
of double width from the termina-
ton ofthe stairway back to tho
rear OF the building, widening out
into an area of magnificent dimen.
sions, and of most attractive style
and arrangement. This is occu-
pied by the great clothing house
of RISING, MILLER & SEIpEL, whose
prcsentimmense facilities, with tho
known energy, industry and en-
terprise of the proprietors, will en-
able them to compete successfully
with any similar establishment,
wherever located.
The splendid west room, of equal
dimensions with that at the east
end, is about to be occupied by
Messrs. BERRY, BnowN & Co., who
will there display an immense and
ontire new stock of dry goods. As
an eligible stand for the general
mercantile business, this cannot be
excelled in the city.
On the second floor, the airy and
commodious rooms'in front of the
ball running east and west, will be
occupied-at the cast end by DR.
! VoN BoNnoRsT, as a Dental Office
operating rooms and laboratory =
lat the west end by the Office Of Dir

tween, one will constitute the office
of DR.. G. W. BABcooK, Homcopath,
ist--the occupancy of the other il
not now ,recollected. The large
rooms, or halls, in the rear of those
just mentioned, will be devoted tc
various uses, and We believe, have
ali been rented by the proprietor
One of them--in the central par
of the building, has been secured
by the Young Mems Christian AS
sociation of the city, as place o
meeting, and the various othel
purposes of the Association, fol
which it is admirably adapted.
