KENNELLY'S PARK HOTEL.
The First Hotel in the Yellowstone COun-
try.

KENNELLY's PARK HOTEL.
| try.
In one month from now hotel will be
occupied in Livingston which will eclipse
anything in the Yellowstone valley and
will equal in conveniences any hotel in
the territory of Montana This is the
Park hotel which is nearing completion,
being built by D. ]. Kennedy at a cost
of $4,000. 1t is located on the corner
of Park and Main streets and will be an
| honor to the town whose transient trade
it will accommodate. Being built in the
most approved style of modern architec-
ture it will present an appearance that
cannot but impress all who visit Living
ston. Such hotel will indeed fill long
felt want, and the confidence which Mr.
Kennelley entertains in Livingston's future
in expending such large amount of
money on a building is felt by many 9th
ers. The service that Mr.. Kennedy has
done to the town in taking the initiative
should be, and is appreciated by its entire
population. A good hotel in town speaks
volumes for it and convinces people of its
worth without any other practical illustra-
ton. The town has been besei ged by
visitors the entire season, taxing its ac-
commodations to their utmost, and the
necessity of hotel such as the one near
completion was manifest. There is no
existing doubt but what it will immedi
ately be self-sustaining as soon as opened,
and next season it will be most profitable
concern. Situated SO centrally, and with
such pleasant appointments, it will not
fail to be we'll patronized. Indications at
present are that this hotel will receive the
patronage of the Northern Pacific railroad
Though nothing definitely has been settled
in the matter, or any arrangements made,
the railroad has made intimations that
would almost confirm this belief 1t is
evident beyond question that it would be
to its interest to do so, as to run an oppo-
sition would not improve the town and
magnify its business This, of course,
must be construed in a broad sense.
The building is constructed of brick, is |
three stories hi gh and 75x7O feet in d.
mensions. The Park street fronting is rs |
feet. There are three Easements to the !
building, with eight feet ceilings, which |
will be used in the various manners that
hotel Easements generally are. Three
apartments on the first floor are 25x7O |
feet in size, each with lofty ceillug. The
two upper stories are divided in the same |
but petitioned off into bed rooms,
parlors, and club rooms of large and
convenient size There will be Sc distinct
bed rooms and the parlors will be handy,
large and delightfully."-, if not ostentatious-
ly, furnished. The dining room will be
a bijou, 25x7O feet, and the culinary de-
partment will be SO equipped that orders
can be turned out in "rapid transit"
Back of and divided from the office will
be the billiard room, which will be run
BY the house, and the apartment next to
he Office Will be occupied by NJ. Roth,
who will conduct wholesale liquor store.
4 balcony on the third story, running the
'ull length of the building will be at the
disposal of the guests Of the house. The
Interior of the hotel will be painted in an
style, and everything possible
will be done to make its appearance bright
md homelike.
Back of the hotel windmill will be
rected for water works system. The
,ottom of the tank will be forty feet
bove the ground and will have capacity
# 10000 gallons. Not only will the
'otel be supplied from this tank but ad-
accent houses and eventually the town.
The masonry work of this mammoth hotel
vas done by Lawless & Herrick, while
'ordon Bros. did the carpentering, Works
'ros. the plastering, and Buchanan & Co.
