The semi-weekly messenger. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1897-1908, 1903-04-07

description of them all has already ap-
peared in The Messenger.
The entire building is constructed of
Darlington brick. with a gigantic steel
frame. The designing was done by a
New York architect. The cost of the
building and machinery will not fall
short Of S125, 600.
Work on the company's sub-station
building at Wrightsville is being push
ed rapidly and smoothly.
COAST LINE AND ANGOLA MILLS.
The Messenger has already mentioned
the extensive improvements being made
AT the general offices of the Atlantic
Coast Lin and also the company's new
building being erected. such as the
handsome ticket office. 1t has likewise
noted the elaborate Improvements being
made at the Angola Lumber Company's
large plant. sc it is only necessary to
state that this work, which is costing
many thousand dollars is progressing
satisfactorily.
BIG WAREHOUSES;.
Water street has recently come into
possession of two large warehouses,
both erected to satisfy the wholesale
business demand. One is the giant
warehouse structure erected by the D.
l.. Gore Company, and the
large building, to be used for a SINH
lar purpose, erected by Messrs. Brooks
& Taylor, opposite their wholesale
house or Water street. between Mar
ket and Dock.
The Gore warehouse is on the west
side of Water street, opposite the COM
panyS large establishment between
Princess n Chestnut streets. An up
to-date feature in connection with this
building will be a large overhead, iron
bridge connecting the warehouse and
the main establishment.
ENORMOUS EXPENDITURE.
1t is estimated by architects n con
tractors that the total cost of erecting
the buildings now in course of con-
struction and of those contracted for
will be in the neighborhood of $50, 900.
This is IN enormous outlay and shows
truly that old Wilmington's worth is
realized and that she ranks Al, COM
mercially.
