The ADGER BUILDING OUR FUTURE THEA
TIRE We learn tpat Mr.. j. Chadwick, q Northeru
capitalist planting Wadmalaw 1slsnd who re-
Gently purchased at very low plice the spacious
structure ut the corner OF King and Market Streets
known as the Adgr building, intends to convert it
into theatre, opera house and lyceur. On King
street there will be found stores, wuich will be
rented OUT the second story will be the theatre
ard opera room, and the third floor the lecture
rooms. THere Is also to bc restaurant in the
building. somewhat after the sty,e of the famous
Delmonicos at New York.
MI Chadwick. we learn, has sent to New York for
plans of the most modernly built theatres and opera
houses, so as TO mako the proposed chang rs sue
cessful as is possible.
here IS question that this is great enterprise,
and If carried on it will certainly add to the atrac
ttons ard interest Of our city, so s,dly in need
OF large and conmodious theatre, such the pro-
posed plan should supply. 1t is intended to spend
900 or $4,000 in making the necessary architect
ura change. and this will only make the whole build
ing cost Mr. Chadwick about S75, 900, oncbalf of the
original cost Of the property. During tho war it
passed into the hands of Mr. Ernest Hart for $685.
600 10 currency, when gold was worth six for one.
Earnestly do we hope Mr.. CHADWICK will carry out
his idea. 1t will profit him and profit Charleston.
