HOTEL zINzENDoRF.
Standing on an eminence at the
extremity of West Fourth street is
Hotel Zinzendorf-a m agnific C e n t
structure just receiving its finishing
touches. Occupying a commanding
position, it is itself a commanding
structure.
The style ofarchitecturei is an Amer
lean modification of old French mod
els. A tower in the center rises to the
hight of S5 feet, AMI on either side
are two smaller projecting towers
with outlooks at the top. From these
may be had a magnificent view of
the city and surrounding country.
The plan of the house is T-shapeo
The main wing has a frontage of
$50 feet and the rear wing extends
back from the center III with a
width of 81 feet. Broad piazzar
which will hold comfortably 5000
people, surround the entire Structure.
The main wing is four stories and
the rear wing three stories with base
ment and sub basement. The out
side is finished with cypress shingles
giving the structure rustic appear
ance in keeping with the style of
architecture
The office is in the center of the
main wing, directly under the CEN
tral tower. From this by broad
stalrways and the elevator, the 103
elegantly appointed guest chambers
above are reached. The private
office, smoking reading, and billiard
rooms are all on the first floor con-
venient to the publict office. In the
rear wing is the dining room and
kitchen, with sleeping apartments
for servants, bar-room, heating
apparatus ETC., in the basement and
sub basement.
The building is furnished through
out with hot and cold water and is
heated by steam. 1t has its own
private system of water works and
is as we'll protected against fire as
the business portion of the city. It
has public and private baths on ev-
cry floor and return electric call
system communicates with every
room from the Office. The entire in
terror is finished in North Carolina
pine. 1t is impossible in the space
to which this article must be con-
fined to go into minute description
but suffice it to say that the appoint
ments throughout are perfect in ev
cry detail, and tour of inspection
through the building is all that is
required to convince one of this.
Messrs. Wheelwright 4 Haven, of
Boston, furnished the plans, and the
building was constructed under the
direction of Edward A. Crane, of Bos-
ton, as supervising architect. Messrs.
Graham Bros, of Danville, are the
contractors. Ground was broken
about a year ago. The furniture,
which will be in keeping with the
other appointments, is arriving daily
and being but in place.
Mr.. Eugene S. Boswell has been en-
gagged to manage the hotel, and it's
doors will be thrown open for the en-
tertainment of the public shortly
after the first of May.
An addition to the rear wing and
an engine house have been construct
ed at cost of $4,000. The entire
cost of the Zinzendorf with grounds
and improvements and furnishings
will be considerably over $10O, 900.
The West End Hotel & Land Com
pany has done its work we'll in giving
Winston-Salem a Hotel unsurpassed
in North Carolina. The cut printed
in this paper gives a fair idea of the
appearance of the structure.
