The New United States Hotel.

Mr. John w. Lane has returned from New
York, and has brought with him the interior
plans for the new hotel which he proposes
to erect on the site of the United States
Hotel This plan was drafted in Paris,
France, and brought over by his nieces, who
lately arrived in New York from Europe.
The plan takes in all the space from Elm
street, down Congress and Federal, below
the Perry House. 1t gives a hotel of FIVE
stories in height, built in European form,
around court yard in the very centre of the
house. In the centre of this court yard is a
handsome fountain, and off of it are the
Offices Two porte-cocheres are built out,
one on the Elm street front, and the other on
the Congress street, and through these run
carriage drives to the court yard, so that all
guests are driven directly to the centre of
the house. This court yard is lighted from
the roof of the hotel, by an immense heavy
glass skylight.
The corridors of the hotel, on each floor,
run parallel with the three streets on which
the hotel stands, with line of suites OF
apartments, with bath and toilet rooms, on
either side of these corridors. The highest
price rooms will, of course, be those on the
outside of the corridors, facing the street
the cheaper those facing the court yard. 1t
is claimed, however, that those looking
on the court yard will be as well lighted as
those looking on the thoroughfares. There
will be 225 rooms in the hotel without count
ing the parlors, offices, etc.
Mr.. Lane has not decided fully to adopt
this plan, but likes it better than any yet
4 e., L. IL ,f
pletely demolishing the old house will begin
March 1st, and he expects to have it fiat by
June 1St.
