The CROSBY LOT. While many of our
people are very much disappointed because
the Crosby Inn is not to be rebuilt, it is
cause for congratulation that the ruins of
that Inflated structure will not much longer
offend the sight. Work began Monday in
clearing the lot, and one of the tall chin
neys was pulled down. When the ruins are
removed the old Crosby homestead, which
will be placed upon its original site and 1e-
stored as nearly as possible to its former
condition, and the surrounding grounds
will be put in order. The interior of the
house has suffered but little by its use for
hotel purposes, and.iI will be an. easy matter
to renovate it. An L. will be built to the
main house to take the place of one removed.
