The National Capital Bank movest to It's hand
some new building, 314-316 Pennsylvania ave-
nue. southeast, tomorrow, (Monday,) the 9th of
February. When the bank was organized an
Office was leased at the corner of Third street
and Pennsylvania avenue southeast, and it was
the intention OF the directors to remain in these
quarters for ten years, but the growth during
the first six months demonstrated that the space
was inadequate for the volume of business to be
handled, and the purchase Of site and erection
of building was decided on.
The growth of the bank exceeds the prediction
of its most sanguine friends. The receipts OF
the first day, September 2, 1889, amounted to
$780, 900 and the increase in deposits from Jan
uary l, 1890, to January /, 1891, was $145,0OO,
the amount OF deposits on the last date being
$3.50 O00, and the surplus and profits $22,400.
The chief factors causing this rapid growth
were the popularity and standing of its organic
ers the effort of stockholders to obtain new
business and its convenient location for resi-
dents of the eastern section, who up to the
time of the establishment of this bank were
obliged to bank down town or keep their money
in their ''strong boxes"
Another factor, and one not to beoverlooked,
is the population Of this section, which Qnclud-
ing the county, is about $4,000, and is rapidly
increasing, as evidenced by the large number of
new dwellings and stores being erected.
The building which has just been made ready
for occupancy was designed by A. 2. Clark, Jr,
and was constructed by Mr.. James l.. Parsons.
The cost of building and ground was $4,000.
1t is a handsome and commodious structure,
having frontage of 40 feet, height of 81 feet.
the depth of building being 70 feet. The first
story is built of rough granite, the stories above
being combination of granite, brick, and terra
Gotta.
The portico is feature of the front, and,
with the four large granite columns which sup
port it, gives the building that substantial look
which financial institutions should have.
An abundance of light is supplied through
large plate-glass windows in the front and
back, and large light well on east side.
The first story and all the stairways fire

beautiful effect of coloring and design The
