The new building occupies one of the
most eligible situations in the city, being
on the business part of Main street,

Office and the centre of trade. It oc-
cupie, 2iN6O feet on the ground; the low
er story is II fec: in the clear, and ele-
gantlv finished with large show-win-
dows. 1t is admirably adapted and
well-located for fancy dry goods, drug
or stationery store. The upper story is
divided into five large offices and hall
all of which are well lighted and venti-
lated, with high celin rs, and hard fin
ished throughout. A flight of easy
stairs ascend from the front, and COW
cred passage-way and stairs in the rear,
afford ample means of entrance and ex-
it. The front is the most snowy in
to-*n, and will have a light veranda
serving both as a promenade and avn
ing. Mr.. Burmeis:er deserves great
credit for his enterprise, and we doubt
not he will receive ample remuneration
for his outlay when the building is
completed.
