Orlllsby House.

This large and attractive etlifce stands
now. nearly finished at Carson and
Second streets. This point is highly
favorable for the location of hotel,
being central and in the immediate
vicinity of the State House. 1t towers
UP in the centre of business, an admirable
imitation of granite. In fact, an intelli-
gent passer by--a stranger of course
pointing to the walls, inquired of the pre-
sent proprietor if that granite was pro-
cured here. He was answered affirm
atively and vent On his way apparently
satisfied. This deceptive preparation is
the result of two coats Of sand embedded
in three of paint. The new building is
entirely of wood, closely joined and made
one with the old brick structure which it
looms considerably above, by a connect
ing roof and steps from house to house.
The latter, however, is receiving a double
roof in the place OF the old tin one, which
will add to its height considerably. The
roof of the new building is covered with
choice shingles which are avishly smear
ed with metallic fire proof paint and
surmounted by heavy cornice supported
upon OIUdil SItci UItchtlo. Lie new
building is three stories high and pre-
sents in front and rear the CHEEKY aspect
OF hay windows. 1t is thoroughly light
ed on all sides by numerous windows,
thirty of which let in light from the
north. The ladies entrance is at re-
tired point on the northern side, the door
leading into which is ornamented ON
either side by glass work in ground with
neat and appropriate floral figures. The
glass of the transum above announces in
deeply cut letters; LADIES ENTRANCE.
Enter and pass through door
opening to your right. You are !
IN the dining room measuring thirty by |
forty feet. In rear and in easy commu-
nication with the dining room is the |
kItchen-a snug roomy apartment-fur- |
nished with patent hroiler, a 40-sallon |
boiler, an improved French range and |
all the other latest appliances for cookery. |
Step in at the front door and you find !
yourself IN a capacious hall destined for |
the saloon, connected with which is an
apartment twelve by twenty-four, to be t
fitted up as reading room, and supplied
with papers. periodicals, etc. This much |
needed innovation would of itself be s1If-
ficient to stamp the OrTpsby as the model
hotel structure of Nevada.
The entire number OF sleeping cham
bers inclusive OF twelve suites will reach
The attic if emergency re-
quires can be readily fitted up and turned
into three or four comfortable apartments
for the accommodation Of servants. The
rooms have been so planned as to be as
numerous as possible on tine outside, so
that only two are left on the inside and
I lese are to be lighted by tsansoms and
star lights. The suits of rooms on the
East und West ends will probably be the
most desirable ones to rent in the State of
Nevada. The windows are all substan-
tally loaded so as to move at a touch. and
remain firmly stationary when the motive ,
force is withdrawn. IN this respect as
in all others none OF the minutest details
have been overlooked which are calculat-
I'd to promote the general comfort of a
hotel -
We shall finish our description Of this
hotel tomorrow. t
