The New Hotel.

the "Hotel Maverick" is an event of more
than ordinary interest, because it marks the
progress and growth of our city.
This building is located on Houston street,
fronting upon the south side, and was origi-
nally built to accommodate General Ord and
staff; it was originally two stories in height,
with cellar; another story has been added, and
such changes made as were necessary to fit
the building for hotel. The front of this
building is one Of the most ornamental in the
city, and the entire structure of solid masonry.
ELEGANT DINING ROOMS.
The ground floor is divided up into dining
rooms offices, bar, etc. But of the dining
rooms we wish to speak especially. The main
dining room is the extreme east room, and is
decorated in the most elaborate style, the pa
pering being done by Messrs. Soule & Will
liams, the artist being Mr.. Jas. F. Bowman,
recently of New York; the ladies' dining room
adjons the main dining room, and is still
more deliberately decorated, the paper being
the very finest imported embossed paper, ana
the designs being very tastefully arranged, in
pannelings, with gilt trimmings; and there are
also two smaller wine rooms, or private dim
ing rooms, which are richer still in their deco
ration. The carpets correspond to the walls,
and everything is in harmony so far as color
and effect are concerned. The granting of the
wood work was done by several of our paint
ers, and is excellent, especially the counter Of
the main Office.
THE OFFICE
is most elaborate in its decorations, and is
supplied with large Diebold safe, and enun-
ciator, which is connected with all parts of
the house.
TO The west of the office is located the bar
room and cigar stand, which will be under the
charge of Mr.. Campbell of Boston, and Mr.
oternberger of our city; this room is not quite
in order.
THR PARLOR.
Ascending the main stairway which is splen-
didly decorated We reach the end floor upon
which is located number of rooms and the
parlor, which is finely upholstered, and fur
nished with grand Chickering piano. The
sleeping rooms are all kalsomined, and look
as sweet and clean as a pin. The rooms are
all furnished alike with a complete set of black
walnut furniture, of neat and substantial de-
sign. The furniture was purchased directly
from the factories of Beckey, Gay X Co., Mel
| son Matters and Phoenix Co., of Grand Rap
ids, Michigan.
THE TABLE LINEN.
The table linen, which is of the best quality,
was furnished by A. T. Stewart & Co., OF
New York, and comes in complete order, with
the stamp Of the hotel upon it.
THE SILVER
was ordered direct from the Pierpont manu-
factory of Connecticut and is elegant in de-
sign and appropriateness.
THE KITCHEN
Is located in the basement or cellar, and is
very complete, and under the charge of TWO
of the most accomplished cooks ever brought
to the state, one of them having been head
pastry cook at the Grand Union, Saratoga.
THE LAUNDRY
Is located on the premises, removed from the
hotel building, and in the same building is To-
| Gated the servants quarters.

1t will be the coolest, pleasantest hotel in
the south; its inside galleries in the rear front
to the river and are exposed to the south
winds, and the rooms are so perfectly ventil-
ated as to receive the full benefit; the rooms
are high and cool and in every way conclusive
to comfort The guests of the Maverick can

of delight morning to night.
THE ENTERPRISE

stranger, and Mr.. George Maverick, the pro-
prietor of the building, in thus furnishing our
city with such hotel is deserving of public
thanks. while the artistic work Of Messrs.
