A Fine Residence.

The capitali st who erects substan-
tial business house or an elegant resi-
dence, is almost as much public ben
efactor as he who endows a college
or charity. The business palace is a
substantial testimonial to the perma-
nency of the city, and the handsome
residence a standing compliment to
the taste of the people. The faith of
merchants is shown by the style of
their stores, and the beauty and taste
of the mansion exhibit the refinement
of the people.
These thoughts were suggested yes
terday as we passed along the North
side of Fourth ct. between Spring and
Main, and discovered the elegant resi-
dence of Mr.. H. w. Hellman, which
is now almost finished. Mr.. Hellman
has selected one of the most central
locations of the city, on prominent
street and surrounded by elegant man
sions and grounds. His house Is a
picturesque frame cottage, elevated
about four feet from the level, commo-
dious and complete, with all modern
conveniences. For comfort, we have
not seen its superior and in fine finish
it exhibits the aesthetic taste of the
owner. 1t is house of eight apart
ments, all high, roomy and conven-
lent. His double parlors are gems of
rooms, suggestive in their very ap-
pearance OF luxury and ease. The
sliding doors, CRATES, marble manteIs,
bay-windows, etc., are such as one
would expect to see in the palatial res
licences of the East. The sltting-room,
chambers, kitchen, pantry, store
room, servants room, bathroom and
halls are finished with all the modern
appointments, making his house one
of the most complete in the city. The
cost, when finished, will be about &c.
OOO, and Mr.. Hellman will then be
fixed, we hope, for a long life in his
cozy home, where he can rest under
his own vine and fly tree.
The architecture OF the house is the
work OF Kysor d Mathews, who have
recently made the plans for most OF
our largest stores and prettiest resi-
dences. Mr. G. Chisholm is the car
penter, Messrs. Mclean d Bryson are
the plasterers, Mr.. Moran is the paint
er, and MIR. Barrows the plumber and
gas-fitter. The mechanics have done
their work WE'LL the job being credit
to them, as well as monument To
Mr.. H. w. Hellman's taste and liber-
ality.
