the north side of the old building and is
known as the Owsley annex. is five
StOTlcS ana a basement. Inc three uppCt
stories being entirely new and the first
two stories have been so thoroughly re-
modelled from an old building as to
render this portion virtually new. TIT

dom in pressed brick with ornamental
ton to correspond with the rest of the
block, of which the new section is now
a part. The ground floor furnishes a
fine store room. with curved plate glass
front set in metal. The second, third
and fourth floors are devoted TO offices
