How Raleigh Has Grown in 1890.


older residence sections. While building
has a natural inclination toward these
older sections, extensive improvements
have been made elsewhere, and building
has not been confined to any especial
quarter. New buildings are going up or
remodeling has been done in almost ev-
cry part of the city.
There is, however, another class Of
improvements that point no less unerring-
ly to the city's growth and expansion
than these. 1t is found i'll the building
of small houses and cottages and the
remodelling Of old ones.
Here are some Of the buildings of this
class erected and improvements that
have been made since March LIST, when a
record Of them began to be kept by the
city. No doubt there are many others The
amounts named are the first estimates
made of the work. In many instances
they have or will cost twice or three
times as much as the figures given below.
Within the past six months at least half
n million dollars worth of buildings, per-
haps more, have been either started or
completed here.
