PRIVATE RssIpsNol
OF August Rolf on 18th street (Iate
Centre.) Its TO occupy the site mex,
to Mrs.. Carriers residence and lie to be
two stories high with an oriel or bay
window in the second story, pressed
brick front With stone trim
mings and slate roof.
1t has a frontage Of Is feet and will
contain when completed nine rooms,
and 10 the preparation Of Its interior
Mr.. Kembls, the architect. seems to
have exhausted bis inventive genius
in making it model OF convenience
and comfort.
The rooms ars finished in black
walnut, the walls to be OF white lime
and plaster finish. 1t is provided with
drying room, hot and cold water is every
room and supplied to stationary wash
stands in the bed chambers. 1t will be
probably the best finished and most
complete private residence in the city.
The cost OF erecting this house will be
about $40,
Besides those enumerated above Mr..
Kemble has prepared the drawings and
specifications forseveral other buildings
which will 60 up in the city this sum,
mer. Amongst them may be mention-
ed the proposed St. Alphonsus School
which will be located alongside OF the
church Of that name, on Market
street, Centre Wheeling. 1t will
occupy . space OF 40 feet front by los
feet deep and three stories high and
will probably cost $4,000 or $4,000.
He is also putting up private resi-
dence, on North Front street, Island,
for Mr.. S. N. Hamilton which is TO be
OF brick and will cost $500. 1t will
be q model Of convenience and beauty
when completed.
Besides those above enumerated
there are many others which we have
not the data at hand to discuss. Among
these may be mentioned the four foe
dwellings to be erected on the east side
OF Main street, north of old Jefferson,
by Peter Seybold, Esq. The two on
Chapline street. just above ll,h, by
our enterprising townsman, Mr..
John Nolan, who seems
to be devoting all his spare
time aud capital to building fine houses
and improving the cit,'s appearance.
There are many others who are eth
er erecting buildings or contemplate do
ing 90 this season, whose names we don't
just::now call to memory, but sufficient
has been detailed to satisfactorily show
that at no time in the past, perhaps
has there been such an impetus in this
branch Of improvement. 1t also indi-
Gates at once that our city is quietly but
rapidly growing and improving, even
far beyond the expectation OF the cas-
ual thinker and observer. The growth
is no. spasmodic either, but steady and
sure, and with every succeeding
spring we may expect to see an
number OF fine stores and
beautiful residences projected and CON.
pleted.
Improvements are going on in other
portions Of the State also. which sug-
,est that Wheeling is not having it
all her own way.
Mr.. Kemble, who prepared the plans
and specifications OF the University
and has the supervision OF
ts erection. informs US that the central
portion is now under contract and will
be rapidly pushed forward.
He is also preparing the plans OF a
banking house Tor the First
National Bank a. Fairmont, which is
% be erected this year and will eclipse
n appearance anything Of the kind in
he State, outside OF Wheeling.
We expect shortly to give another
chapter on these important interests,
md will then probably include what
.ver else is worthy OF note in the build
ne line. For the present the above
howipg lie very soothing and will do.
WELL We WILL sell good wool Tweed
md Cassimeres worth anywhere from
5 conts to 81 90, at from 40 to 81 cents.
Il. 25 goods at 65 centa
