been the aim of the architect and build

and imposing structure, worthy of the
city and the association. There are no
towers or dormer windows which in our

of brown stone, having clustered columns,
and will be topped by a balustrade to
correspond with that on the roof. The
floor of the vestibule will be laid in tile
work and the wainscoating will be OF
stone or enameled brick.

most magnificent III New England.
A committee representing the associa-
ton visited many Of the modern build
ings erected for Y. NJ. G.. Az in Massa-

taking Architect 1ompson with them.
A fter careful examination of all the es-
sensial features peculiar to such build
ing. he has drawn plans for the Portland

adaptability to all the requirements of
modern Association work appear to be
without sirgle objectionable feature.
The lot which cost S25, 500 occupies so
conspicuous site that it will make the
building one of the most prom inc 1T in
the city. 1t has a frontage of so feet on
