derstOod that Mr.. Parish will also erect
later in the season two larger houses to

viii probably be finished by the 1st of

will probably be ready for occupancy in a

has front of "A feet 6 inches, with an l.
addition at the rear 80 feet inches in

dence on Gwinnett street, corner of
Howard street, extended. The house is
a substantial looking structure relieved
bV bay windows, and Is supplied with all
the modern Improvements. This struc-

Mr.. John Keller is having built on the
north side of Hall, between Barnard and
Jefferson streets, two brick houses, each
two stories in height, with a front of %
feet inches, and depth of As feet. These
residences have bay windows, and will be

ments and handsomely finished at a cost of

On the adjoining lot, at the corner of
Barnard street, Alderman Hamlet is
building one Of the most substantial and
complete houses that can be seen In the
.
dence, and has front of u feet on Hall
street and a depth of 81 feet. 1t
contains sixteen rooms, all of good size,
and amply ventilated and lighted. The
basement is Sfeet in height, and the other
stories each II feet. The principal rooms
are of the following dimensions:
kitchen, "a feet inches by 16
feet: back parlOr, 10 feet by Is feet;
dining-rOOm "A feet inches by IS feet,
with the addition of bay window over
looking Barnard street, u feet wide and
feet deep. The larger sleeping rooms in the
second story are "A feet6 inches, 16X20
feet, 15xl6 feet, respectively. The house
has two bath rooms on the second floor,
a dumb waiter, number of closets, a
buffers pantry, and other conveniences.
The newell post at the foot of the main
stairway alone cost 500. All the details
connected with the workmanship give
evidence of the skill Of those engaged on
the structure. The house is now being
plastered inside, and will receive an eXte-
riOr hard finish in Georgia and Portland
cement, the aforementioned material
being used for the trimmings. 1t is diff
cult to correctly give an estimate of the
probable cost of this structure, where so
much money is necessarily expended,
first, in the erection of very substantial
building, and second in adding to il a
finish the most complete in every detail,
outside as well as within. Work upon
the foundations was begun months ago,
and the final touches to the structure will
not be made until some time in next Sep
TENDER. Hence we must permit the
reader to form his own idea Of the prob
able cost when this residence shall have
been finished.

speak, will he supported by sixteen Corin-
