A significant fact which shows the
growth of Montgomery, is that business
men are putting up buildings outside the
old business district, and are encroaching
more and more upon the residence por-
ton of the city. Residences are giving
way to business houses, and are building
further from the city proper.
The ground for a new hotel so long ad-
vocated, has not yet been broken. but the
matter is still live question. The
committee of the Commercial and Indus
trial Association is hard at work on the
matter and some time this week cap
ltalist from Philadelphia who has the
money to put up a hotel that will be a
source of pride to Montgomery will visit
the city with that particular thing in
view.
The Carnegie Library Is raising higher
above the ground every day and Mont
gomerians can already CLEAN an idea of
what the finished building will look like.
St. Margaret's Hospital has been dedi-
Gated and in few months will be COM
pleted. The old building on the ground
has been remodeled and is being used as
a hospital.
Work on the proposed new First Bap-
fist Church has not yet begun but the
grounds have been cleared and every
thing is ready to begin the work. 1t will
be one of the handsomest edifices in the
State.
Perhaps the new building which at
tracts the most popular interest Is the
Montgomery Theatre. The old building.
which for so many years was the SUBJ
ject of adverse criticism, is no more.
1t served Montgomery we'll, but has given
place to a structure which is as up-to-
date as any theatre in Alabama. Space
has been added. the stage improved, the
whole house refurnished and decorated,
and nothing of the old theatre is left
but its massive brick walls. the name.
and the old plastic figures that for years
held up the private boxes.
Beth Or. the new Jewish Temple, has
been dedicated and is the pride of every
citizen of Montgomery.
The Dexter Avenue Methodist Church,
after many years hard struggle, has been
completed and shows up handsomely.
The Standard Club is building a new
home on the old Clisby place. and the
Beduvoir Club will soon move into the
old Roman place, which will be improved
greatly within the next few weeks.
The First National Bank building on
Commerce Street is a sky scraper and
is the handsomest bank structure in Ala
bama. The building was completed last
April.
