The Benton Hotel Company, q Joint stock
association formed last fall, will commence
as early as possible the erection OF a nlagni1-
cent hotel building, on the levee, corner OF
Front and Bond street. The plans have not
yet been received from the East, and so we
are unable to give as complete a description
as we would desire. Il will be Of brick, will
be three stories high, and 80x11O feet on the
ground. The main entrance will be on Front
street, and there will be an entrance on the
Bond street front and on the leyee. The es-
timated cost is $50, 600, and when completed
it will be q structure Of which Benton may
we'll be proud.
Like most of cur business houses, the firm
Of T. G. Power & Bro. are finding their pres
ent quarters too small for their rapidly grow
ing trade, and they have broken ground next
to their present commodious building for the
erection Of a similar ore as,soon as spring
opens. It will be the same size, 30x90, will
be Of brick, two stories high, and will cost
$40, 900. 1t is the intention to use the new
building for the dry goods department, while
the present one will be devoted to groceries,
etc. Storer 8 ssorer are the contractors.
W. s. Wetzel will put up q fine brick resi-
dence on Bond street next sunme at q cost
Of about 50, 1000.
The brothers Caldwell, we understand, will
erect 6 brick residence On st. Charles street
early in the year; estimated cost, 50, 900.
Louis Hoffman will put up a 49, 900 brick
residence; location at present undecided.
L. Fl. Rosencrans will put up a fine brick,
on the corner of Front and Bond streets, a
description of which will be found in the ar
ticle on Storer 6 Storer's business on list page.
These arc all the new buildings of which
we have positive knowledge, but rumor is
busy in respect to many new schemes in the
building line, and we are confident that a
building boom will strike our town next year
which will send it rapidly to the front among
the cities Of the great Northwest.
