THE COMMONWEALTH CLUE.
some Idea Obtained About the New
Building.

Building.
People OF Richmond were enabled TO OBJ
tain Yesterday some idea Of the new build
ing 10 be raised AT the southwest corner of
franklin and Monroe streets. as the home
Of the Commonwealth Club. The design
for the building, by Carvere a Hastings. of
New \ 9rk, was exhibited i'm a window at
the corner Of Tenth and Main streets. and
attracted a great deal Of attention.
According to it the binding is TO be two
full stories high with third story in the
roof lighted by dOrmer windows. In STYLE
the building combines the .Olidity Of the
ancient Virginia colonial home with the
lightncss OF architecture which l. now so
popular and which is "a composition Of sew
eral styles. The entrance is through "A re-
cessed pOrticO on the Franklin street
front, and above this entrance is
"A recessed porch. The WindOws
Of the lower floor are deep sci and arched,
while the second floor windows are rectan-
gular. The roof recalls the hipped roofs Of
half century ago. On the east side of the
buildidg is "A two-storicd open porch in
which the Olden and modern style are ehec-
lively combined.
1t is understood that the kitchen Of the
club will be in the top story, the dining
room on the second, and the reception and
readng-rOOms on the first floor. From the
general appearance 81 the design, the
building Will be great addition TO west
franklin street, already SO distinctly beau
uful on account of the great number and
variety Of handsome private residences.
