"A NEW THING IN HOTELS.
Lionel Haas is building hotel On the North
Side some features Of which have never been
tried in America before, although they are famil-
lar and successful in Europe, and particularly
Hammond and Merommee streets. Its dtmen-
s1ons aEe 50x10O feet. It is three stories il,
height, beside basement, which coutains 9
restaurant, kitchens, and cellars. There are in
IT SIXTY rooms, which will be let. furnished,
singly or en- suite, to Individuals or small
families. Meals will be served in the restaurant.
which will be for the exclusive use OF tho
lodgers. The most novel feature OF the estab-
Ishment is garden On the roof. The roof is
strongly built, fenced in, has perfect arrange
ments Tor drainage, etc., and carries o layer Of
soil in which flowers and plants will be growu.
This sky-garden will be laid out in the most
tasteful style, with paths and garden bowers,
and, to make its allurements Us q resort for
summer evenings complete, Casino will be kept
IN the garden, where tue privileged inmates may
away the hours. Fifty trees are uow growing On
this singular spot, and give the top OF tue hotel
tho appearance OF having emerged from the
ground, bringing up With it part OF the prl1ncyal
forest.
The cost Of the hotel will bs about 900. GOO. It
will be ready Tor occupancy in six weeks. The
situation is is = good one, about two blocks from
Lincoln Park, and the success Of Mr. Haas en-
terprise is probably dependent only upon the
manner in which the house is kept.
