Our Buggy Ride In, Through. Round
and About the New Depository

Our Buggy Ride in, Through, Round
and About the New Depository
Building.
We really had no correct idea of the
magnitude, style, superior advantages and
perfect adaptation of this mammoth estab-
ment until after reading the circular let
ter of Messrs. Douglas, Son & Co. in yes
terdsy mornings issue of our paper.
Prompted by both interest and curiosity,
we determined to indulge in a bnggy ride
all through the building and about the
grounds attached. All that the advertise
ment says, and much more, We found to be
true.
The building, extending from Market to
Water street, is 800 feet in length and has
a magnificent front of 80 feet in width, and
some so feet elevation. On Market is an
entrance or gate Of IL feet by is feet
Then Is feet roadway for 800 feet to like
massive gateway into Water street. On
each side of the roadway is strong plank
Touring 800 feet by sc feet, capable Of
comfortably storing ak thousand bales of
cotton or 4, 600 hogshesds or Il, 900 barrels.
By means of double action hosting
machine and a hosting step or stairway,
one enters the second story, which is the
granary, a vast sea of flooring, on which
to store wheat rye, barley, oats, corn, etc,
safely from rats and mice, most desirable
and valuable arrangement. On Water
street the building has an elevation for
three stories. The ground floor is a fine
ice honse, being the coolest place in Nash
Vile, and is fne place for storing sugar
in hogsheAds. The second story is for
cora crib for corn in the ear; while the
third floor is continuation Of the granary
before referred to.
We hope to see all these departments
filled up with produce and manufactured
articles, and that the enterprising proprie-
tors may be amply rewarded and enccur-
sged to extend their improvements in our
goodly city of Nashville. u
