The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1892-07-03

steamfitting and gas and electric fixtures
were put in BY Heesch & Ellerbeck; the
castiron work throughout and the Hyatt
sidewalk lights-the first of the kind ever
made in Utah-are from the Silver Bros
iron works, this city.
The building ranks as one Of the sights
of Salt Lake and will long stand as monu-
ment to the enterprise OF MIR. w. S. Nc
CorDick, and the success Of the big bank
ing institution of which he is the head.
ELABORATE FIXTURES.
When Mr.. Mccormick laid out the plans
OF the banking room, he decided on having
the wood work of the entire chamber, yes
THULE doors, window caseing, counters,
ratings and even the desks and tables
made in uniform style of hard wood. All
the principal fixture and furniture firms
of the country competed, but the work
was awarded to the Beattie Manufacturing
company Of st. Louis, whose representa-
tive, Mr.. Rausher is now putting the last
touches on the elaborate interior. The
wood selected is a San Domingo mahog-
any. a hard and glossy material,
between cherry and birch il color, and all
the metal work in the gratings, windows
and cages iG of brass or steel copper-bronzed
finish. A high wRinscotiug which runs
around the room is of the same material,
and the effect on entering the door is g
strikingly handsome one. The counters
take in three sides of the room, after the
style of horseshoe. On the left hand as
one enters gaze lesds to the desk Of Mr.
Mccormick; communicating with this en-
closure is a private room handsomely fur
nished, which looks out on Main street
through one Of the monster windows which
form almost third of the front of the
building. Adjoining Mr. McCornick's
apartment is the room occupied by the
exchange clerk; next is the window of the
receiving teller, next that Of the paying
teller. next is the desk Of the cashier, MIR.
Barnett: next the collection clerks window,
and the sixth window is that Of the head
bcokkeeper. All these apartments are
separated by partitions and the tellers are
Gagged in by gratlngs on all sides and over
head as securely as ever were animals in
menagerie. On the right Of the entrance
is a public parlor looking out on Main
street through a mammoth window; il is
handsomely fitted up with desks and tables
for the convenience Of those doing business
with the bank. Adjoining this are the Of
fees of a. Hanauer, the ore buyer, fitted
mp with extreme elegance. The wood
everywhere is finished in It's natural rich
reddish color rubbed and oiled 70 mirror
like gloss. The glass throughout is of the
best American plate, both plain and
beveled. The desks are OF the latest
styles and designs, the upholstering is all
in leather, and chairs, tables, stands, ETC.,
are handsomely and solidiy constructed.
The whole effect of the furniture and
fixtures is one of richness, taste and
durability, and the workmanship reflects
decided credit on the good Judgment and
skill Of the Beathe Manufacturing COM
pany.
STEAM HETING AND GAS FIXTURES.
The superb arrangement for heating the
building, and the gas and electric light FIX
lures, deserve separate and special men,
fiou These branches of the construction
were in the hands Of Heesch a. EIlerbeck,
and embody everything that recent science
and discovery could furnish. The bank
ing room is heated by The direct indirect
system. the radiators being heated by
steam but supplied with cold air which
passes into the room warmed, thus con-
stantly changing the air in the room All
the other floors of the building are heated
by steam, the overhead system being en-
