The plans call for building 60y140.

height at the tower on the corner will be

two parts: the front half will be 80 feet
wide and contain basement and three
floors, the back half to be but 4S feet
wide and contain but two floors. The
association will retain fdQ Is exclusive
use the basement and first floor in the
front half and the entire lower floor in
the back half of the building.
Referring to the sketch published in

building. marks the dividing line of the
two parts of the building, and give access
to an eight foot flight of stairs leading
directly to the second floor, twenty-feet

archway is the prominent feature of the
building. It's span is % feet and it will
be the only entrance to that psrt of the

nicknacks at cost low enough to suit
any one, to the most delicate and expen>
