New DWELLINGS

beth-Eden, the new colored Baptist con-
gregatlon, expects to build a. church in the
eastern portion ofthe city next year.
New Dwellings.
There have been a number Of handsome
residences erected this year. The greater
portion, however, has been small frame
dwellings, chiefly 10 the southern portion of
the city. In fact, the number of small
dwellings erected within the last twelve
months is much larger than is generally
supposed, an idea being prevalent that very
little building has been done in the city this
year. This is a mistake A large dealer in
lumber and building supplies says there has
been more building in Savannah than any
year he has ever known.
Architect A. 8. Eichberg has had
charge Of most of the handsome buildi ugs
that have been erected or are now in course
of erection. He reports the following build
ing operations conducted by him since Sep
tember year ago.
Remodelirg parsonage for Baptist church,
corner Jones and Drayton streets, cost
$500; remOdeling dwelling for Col.
William Garrard, corner Lincoln and
CASTOR streets. cost SIS, 600; several small
remodeling jobs. amounting to about Sc, 900
two dwellings for NJ. Sternberg Jones street
near Bull, cost $4,000; two dwellings for
n,
cost $40 ,000 two dwellings for A Z. Smith
and H. fraub, CASTOR street, near Aber-
corn, cost s21 600; two dwellings for J. l..
Sweat, Duffy street. cost $4,000.
NEXT SEASONS BUILDING.
Mr.. Eichberg said it is too early to make a
reliable estimate of next seasons building
activity, but judging from the nun Der of
parties that have consulted him with view
TO hull naya boz -
has already in hand he thinks the prospect
for next year a very bright one.
Mr.. Eichberg has also conducted large
amount of work outside of Savannah. some
of which involved the use of Savannah
labor and material.
The remodeling of the commercial build
ing into an imposing board of trade build
ing will be begun under Mr. Eichber as
soon as the transfer Of the property is COM
pleted.
A peculiar feature of the present building
season is the large number of small and
moderate priced dwellings that have been
erected and the absence of any large con-
tracts, as each season for several years past
has been marked by the erection of two or
more exceptionally large and expensive
buildings. 1t is difficult to compute the
amount invested in the small buildings re-
ferred to, as no record is keptaof them, and
their location, number aud cost are hard to
trace, but it is safe to say that many thou
sands of dollars have been invested in Sa-
vannah through this class Of building dur
ing the year.
One OF the handsomest buildings of the
year is that of Mr.. J. 5. Woods on Whitaker
street. opposite the Park extension, now
nearly completed. The cost of this building
will be over $50 900.
Judge w. d. Harden is just completing a
