NEW b. e l.. BUILDING.

The splendid new building ofthc
Shenandoah Building Il Loan Assocl-
alton, OH west Court street, is about
completed and will soon be occupied,
the plumbers being engaged in put
ting in the steam heating apparatus.
1t is a large and very handsome
structure. The front is built up OF
large blocks oflight colored indiana
limestone for about five feet from
the foundation, and from there up the
wall Is pressed brick worked into
tastful designs, and embelished with
the white stone trimmings and scy-
cral large ornaments in the form Of
massive lion heads. The other walls
are of hard burned brick made by
Mr.. Jno. S. Hoshour, of this place,
who we believe had the contract for
that part of the work. The inside Is
most conveniently arranged for the
work of the b. & l.. and the Shenan-
doah County Bank which will also be
located on the first floor. The upper
floor is arranged for offices.
The woodwork inside which is Of
the highest grade and best material,
was done under the personal super
vision OF Mr.. Mccormick, Of Wayns-
lolo, Va, who is thorough mas
ter of his business. He was assisted
by some o the best wood workmen
in this section. The entire work Of
building was done under Mr.. Nc
Cormick's direction, he being the
foreman in charge.
Mr.. Jas. II. Clover, of this place,
was the contractor for all the painting,
and better job was never done in
this place.
The plastering was undertaken by
Messrs. Emanuel Hines and Robt.
McGhee. The work is OF the finest
character and reflects the highest
credit on these fine workmen and
their skillful assistants.
The foundation was put in by tina
old reliable workman, Mr.. WIN.
Lowery, who employed some Of the
best stonemasons in this section to
assist him.
The Indiana limestone was cut and
laid by Mr.. Geo. Anthony, of ..Staun-
ton, Va, one of the leading marble
of the Valley.
The building will be heated |
throughout by steam, and will have
water piped through every part from
I large tank in the upper part OF the
The Shenandoah Telephone
