Building in Redwood Falls for 1898 has
probably been lighter than it has been for
many years past The same apathy which
controlled politics during the year about
TO close, has extended over business and
improvements alike, and it was not until
ABOUT Dec. lst atthere was the slightest
evidence of pickup in either.
Everything seems to point to the future
and the business men and prospective res
loence builder is looking to 1899, and if
all intentions are carried out, together
Win the Intentions yet to crystalline the
year 1899 will be good building wear in
Redwood Falls. Already the excavation
mas commenced, and is nearly completed.
1or the two story brick building to be
erected on the corner of Third street and
washington avenue, and it is probable that
tnls structure, when completed. will cost
IN the neighborhood of S.. 900 alone. But
the big building of 1899, if present inten-
tlons are carried out will be the Syndicate
BLOCK, TO be erected on the corner of Sec
ond and Washington, by Messrs. H. NJ.
Hitchcock, ]. II. Bowers and NJ D. Martin
This project has gone so far that plans are
now beng prepared for the same. and the
redwood County Bank has practically
leased the corner portion of the building.
Hltchcock d Co. will probably OCCUPY
announcer portion of the structure. while the
up stairs, if present intentions are carried
out, will be used for Offices of various kinds.
Inc syndicate may not build building to
cover the entire 60 feet frontage on Second
street-that depends upon whether or not
they can secure renter for the easter
most room, but if only the 40 feet front
age IS built it will probably involve an
expenditure of over $4,000. These are
the only two buildings that are in con-
temptation at the present time, but thew
will add materially to the building wealth
OF Redwood Falls.
While the city has been 'sdead' so far
as building is concerned. the country. the
backbone OF all towns, has been moving
steadily forward, and more farmers have
Quilt residences barns and granaries this
year than during any preceding year.
