FITCHBURG The new court house is not yet
quite finished, but will be completed in readi-
ness for occupancy at the August term. This
substantial and fine looking structure, of gran
lite in the English Gothic style, will be one of
the chief architeoSlral ornaments of the town.
1t is located about three hundred feet from
Main street, fronting public square, on Elm,
Church and Hartwell streets, so as to be seen
to advantage from the main thoroughfare of
travel. The body of the house is fifty feet wide
by nnety-seven deep, but the principal front,
looking towards Main street, is extended in
width to eighty feet, to give way for the jury
rooms on each corner. The basement is being
fitted up for the police court room, fifty by
thirty-two feet, lock up, watchmen's room, and
other public accommodations for the town.
In the next story above is the grand jury
room, A by II, witness rooms, &C., and other
rooms for prospective use, for various county
offices, probate deeds, clerk, commissioners,
treasurer, &C., as may be wanted. In the mid
die of the upper story is the court room, As by
As feet leading out of which into the front part,
directly from the judges seat, is the judges pri
vate room 10 by -, and the law library, % by
II feet, each also opening directly into the other
In the two wings of the front are the jury rooms,
circular in shape, of about % feet diameter fur
nishing very attractive quarters. Several capa-
cious rooms at the rear end of the upper story,
accessible from the main stairway, are intended
for witness and consultation rooms, &c. The
private entrance for the court and bar is through
the front part Of the building. Connected with
the main building is the boiler and engine house,
also of stone, about 80 feet square.
The whole cost of the building, including the
inside finishing, will reach about 1925, 900. The
cost of the land, about 1888 square feet, was
$4,000. The builder is lilly Raymond of this
city, and the architects Z. Boyden & Son. Their
work does them great credit.
The new savings bank block, nearly
opposite the town hall, is decidedly the hand
soonest edifce, with its elegant four-story gran
lite front, in that section of the county, aud is
credit to the town. The inside finishing is not
yet quite completed. The old Fitchburg bank
and savings institution, and various insurance
and other organizations, will occupy the rooms
over the four stores. Messrs. E. Boyden & Son
of this city furnished the plans for this build
/ ing also.
Among the other new blocks for business pur-
poses going up on Main street, are those just be-
gun by Andrew Whitney, music dealer, and
| Josiah Spaulding, grocer. They will furnish
some six or seven additional stores, with rooms
above for offices, SC.
