Handsome and Substantial I'm Grove
menI


The new house recently built by Gates d
Pohlman on the corner of College and
Union streets, has been completed, and is
without doubt, one Of the hsndsomest and
most substantial improvements erected
since the war, and reflects great credit
upon the enterprising spirit and good taste
displayed by this worthy and reliable firm.
The building is three stories high, with an
elegant cellar, and covered with what is
known az the French roof the first Of the
kind ever constructed in Nashville. The
building throughout is most substantially
built, the design being the work Of Mr..
Kiddell, one Of our best architects. The
brick work was done by o. S. Lesseur, the
carpenters' work BY Z. W. Adams, the
painting by Milton & Ruth, the plaster
ing by Mr.. Tankesley, the slate and tin
work on the roof by Mcclure Buck,
and the carving necessary TO the inside
finish Of the building by Mr.. Palm, and
the general finish in each depart
ment will speak for itself. The building
has an open front, with magnificent glass
plate imported from France. ln the centre
of the front wall in the second story is
a magnificent clock, ordered and manu-
featured especially for the purpose, which
was put in running order last night.
The building is lit up at night, and this
time piece will afford the same convent
ences at night as in the day time.
Messrs. Gates & Pohlman are now COM
fortsbly located 10 their new establish
msnt, and for several days past have been
busily engaged in fitting up their show
cases and arranging their mammoth stock. |
Each of the numerous show cases against the |
walls are capped with handsomely carved |
cornicea, and the counter cases are as hand
some as a person wants to see. The store /
proper is finished with black walnut,
highly polished, and presents very al
tractive appearance.
We may Just add in conclusion that the
large assortment Of goods, consisting Of
oliver ware, watches, diamonds, jewelry,
etc, etc, corresponds with the magniicence
Of the building, and the firm may feel per-
fectly secure in the belief that their enter
prise, both in the construction Of house
so acceptable TO their business and the ex-
tent of their stock, will not go unrewarded.
Being fully prepared TO receive their Gus
TONERS, they desire to see crowded house
during the holiday gift season. We com
mend the firm 20 the public at large.
