The New Orphanage at Mason
City Will Be a Beautiful
Structure
MATERIAL NOW ON GROUND
Contractors Have the Work Under
Way After Many Delays = New
Building to Be Superior to the One
Notwithstanding About the
Plans.
Special to rimes-Republican.

Mason City, Aug. 1.-THE builders
of the Iowa Odd Fellows Orphans
Home at this city are experiencing all
sorts of vexatious delays in getting
the material for the completion OF the
building. What is lacking is the steel
structural work for the roof and from
appearances it will be JAM before
the home is finished and the anxious
family that have been cooped up in
two incommodious dwellings on Sec
ond street are allowed to enter.
"A visitor to the new home will be
surprised at the architectural finish,
and magnitude Of the building. In
stead of small apartments as in the
former structure there are wide and
airy rooms, spacious apartments and
wide halls. The building is absolutely
fire proof. No wood is used in its con-
structon as the. walls are OF brick
the partitions of brick and expanded
STEEL the floors of cement and marble
and the roof of slate. Even the win
dow castings are of Steel where ex-
posed to the attack of fire. The whole
building is so changed and improved
that it is difficult to recognize 1t as
being built with the original plan in
view. The basement is set apart for
the dining room, kitchen, laundry, re-
frigerators, store rooms, and in fact
the headquarters of the machinery Of
the institution. The office OF the ma
ri
official headquarters of the board of
directors will be on the first floor on
either side the main entrance. Project
ms from these are massive wings
which are fitted for sleeping apart
ments. A great hall opens at the en-
trance which will be finished in most
elaborate style. Marble will be the
material used the floor, walls pilasters
which stand ON each side of the en-
trance, and the large fire place, will
be finished with that material Above
this is to be a beautiful mosaic With
some Odd Fellow emblem.
The front of the building which was
considered SO beautiful in the old
structure will be even more beautiful
In the new. Four marble columns
twenty-four feet high and thirty inches
in diameter stand out as supports to
the characterization above. Back of
these are as many pilasters finished
in marble. The cornice and the frieze
is to be Of elaborate ornamental work
| Of classic style.
The cost of the building will exceed
the appropriation of $4,000 made at
the last grand lodge meeting. Per-
| haps $4,000 more money will be
needed but no Odd Fellow will object
to this once he has seen the building
and noted it's completeness and its
beauty and too, because it is built for
all time.
