is being built by Mr.. Corcoran, the noted
banker and capitalist of this city, at a cost,
as now estimated, of at least $250,000,
stands or fronts on Vermont Avenue, near
the northwest corner of that and II street.
AS it is situated on the avenue which
bears the name of vermont" perhaps
brief description of it and its surround
ings, with a few words regarding the
above named avenue, will be acceptable to
yermonters- such of them at least as are
unacquainted with the map of this city.
The new hotel is of brick, with brown
stone front is six stories high, with con-
tinuous Mansard roof, in the centre OF
which, in front, will be dome IA feet
in height. The building will have front
Of 1877 feet, an elevation of 80 feet, and a
depth of 131 feet, with a court - feet
square in the centre, ''lift" on the frst
floor for the elevation of baggage, fuel,
etc, to the upper stories, and Is intended
as we understand, to have about all the
modern hotel improvements, and conven-
fences which money and the arts can sup
ply.
1t is doubtless intended that this shall
be the best--even if not the largest-pub-
lie house in the city. 1t will certainly
possess one advantage ever any one of the
Others for an Z" aristocratic" or fret class
house, namely. that of location. 1t is
situated in one of the finest and best por-
tions of Washington, more retired than
Willard's or the Ebbitt House, and yet
sufficiently central for house of its kind
and class. If slavery had lived and
fiourished and times were now as they
were a dozen years ago, this hotel would
undoubtedly be tho farorita stopping
place of wealthy and arstocratio Souther-
ners, and i" Northern men with Southern
principles" its builder being man whose
syInpathies are known to extend that way.
Vermont Avenue extends down nearly
in :. south westerly direction to ii street,
which latter runs due east and west The
house Of Senator Sumner (which il was
errourously reported had been bought by
Mr.. Corcoran for purposes of his hotel j.

ings fronting south oa II street and
stands on the corner of III street ami Yer

Mr. VIM. kennedy's, and the next is the
residence of Senator Pomeroy of Kansas.
