A BOOM, IN BUILDING.

THE NEW Ban
A BOON, IN BUILDING.
Fine Now Structures to Go Up In wheel.
ing This ssaSon-A New bank.
Wheeling is now undergoing. one Of
the greatest building Blooms that it has
experienced for years. All the local
architects have about as many plans
under consideration as they can handle,
and most of them are ready for the
contractors. Over a million dollars will
be spent this year in new buildings and
extensive alterations OF old ones.
Yesterday an INTELLIGNcER reporter
had chat with several OF the leading
architects, and all expressed the idea
that the people in this vicinity have
advanced in their ideas Of architecture,
and now demand that buildings shall
be finer and more modern than ever in
the past. The days OF plain front, with
five windows and door, the style OF
residence built in the past, has given
way to more diversified style, and in
a number OF places stone is replacing
brick rapidly.
AS to suburban residences now in
course Of erection, there are not any
finer or more beautiful In the country.
All this goes to show that people are
going in as much for beauty as for COM
fort. All the public buildings and bust
ness blocks are being constructed on
more metropolitan lines than hereto
fore, and next-year will show even a
more marked advance. Already bust
ness men are having plans drawn for
six and eight-story buildings, and at
least two such blocks will be well ad-
yanced by the end Of this season.
In the designing and supervising OF
buildings Mr.. NJ. +. Giesey has always
