How Building Progresses.

A look around Livingston shows
that the work of building up the city
goes nobly forward. Each latest be-
gun structure on the business streets
is more stable and permanent IN ap-
realance than its pr redecessOr and we
will soon have as substatial II class Of
building as are to be found in any
northwestern town.
On Park street +. H. Porter's two
story building near the corner Of Sec.
ond is almost ready for the plaSterers.
It's exterior has been painted as fast as
sided and already it begins to bear ey-
ide.lce that it will be a credit to the
street. On the next corner below, Il
frontage of seventy.fve feet is being
rapidly excayated for the easements
of the three bn iidings two of them
brick) which are to compose the First
National bank block. Stone is already
being delivered for the walls and ev-
erything will be done, we are told, to
rush forward construction, Near the
corner of the next block on Park street
the walls and roof Of Orschel's two
story brick building are almost COM
pleted and when as soon as possible
the interior finishing has been
done it will be occupied by it's owners.
This brick and stone facade thus far
presents the most handsomely sub
stantial appearance Of any building in
town, though that of II. Frank is not
far behind it as it approaches compile
ton. Both Mr.. Franks two-story
brick, and the one Of lower elevation
belonging to Major Peace, are being
completed as fast as the work can be
carried forward. Farther down, the
Revere House is being improved by
the addition of a balcony extending
across it's front, and minor improve
ments arein progress along the whole
street.
The building boom seems in great
measure to have deserted Main street
for the present, though it still con-
tinues to be the scene of the greatest
business activity. We hear Of several
contemplated brick buildings on that
street, though none are yet under way.
G.. Z. Chambers & Co. are transferring
their hardware store to Main street;
G.. w. Metcalf & Co. have just COM
pleted their livery stable and moved
into it; Buchanan S two-story wooden
building is being completed; Cal.
Chezum is preparing to move his
building to location on this street,
and altogether, though Main street
construction has not yet advanced be-
yond the era Of wood, the work still
goes actively forward, and the build
ings are of their material good class.
On Second street many improve
ments are being made upon buildings
already erected, and the liberal use of
paint along that street has very largely
bettered it's appearance. On the lot
next south of the Badger State beer
hall, and fronting on Calender street,
n. G. Matthiessen has built neat
wooden row, divided into three store
rooms, which will probably be occu-'
pied in the course of his own business.
Down at the Apollo: Gardens, in
Riverside addition, work will be begun
next Monday upon the cellar for Land
& Ritter's brewery. The main build.
ing is to be lSx7O feet, and the busi.
ness will necessitate other buildings.
Residence buildings are still making
their appearance in different parts OF
the town, particularly the additions,
but the number OF habitable houses
must vet be far below the demand
which will be made for them upon the
near approach Of winter. Before the
season closes great amount of labor
will be expended il the way Of build
ing improvements both in erecting new
buildings and also in :placing hastily
constructed buildings in condition to
comfortably withstand the inclement
winter weather.
