five stories high. The main building
Is therefore about the size of the
average Office building, and by far OF
course the larges: building in Pensa-
GOA and probably equal in size to any
in the state.
The ten stores referred to are each
lighted from the front and the rear
and from a skylight in the center,
which ell conduces to ventilation as
well as light.
Each store Is equipped with steam
heat, electric lights and gas. The
show windows are on a separate cleo
trical circuit, which is controlled from
the electric light company's works
and are so arranged that the show
window lights can be turned off from
the light companys station at will.
Zach store is equipped with the most
modern show window fronts, making
practically solid sheet of glass
without distractions in the show
windows, being SO arranged that
where the different lights of glass
meet or join each other, they are
bevelled and joined closely, being held
together with few nickle clips Of in
significant size, forming as little OBJ
struction to the eye as possible.
The awning or gallery in front of the
stores as constructed formerly, were
supported by posts or columns at the
sidewalk edge, the top of same being
on level with the height of the
store. The awning for this building,
however, is located at the transom bar
height, so that the transom which
gives the light into the store is above
the awning Or gallery roof, and the
light is unobstructed at the front of
the store through this transom. The
awning, instead of being supported by
posts on the sidewalk, is hung from
the. building itself.
Handsome Elevator Entrance.
The elevator entrance to the build
ing is exceptionally handsome. 1t is
paved with marble and the walls are
lined with polished marble through
out the vestibule. From this entrance
the Offices on the second and third
floors are reached either by a stairway
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1906-08-01

Or an electric elevator. and the CORR
doris are all paved with marble fioors
All of the Offices are finished in oak,
with connecting doors between Offices,
so that they may be arranged in
suits, where desired, to suit the con-
venience of the tenants.
Each floor has all the plumbing and
sanitary conveniences known, with
steam heat, electric lights, water, and
janitor service furnished for all halls
in the building.
Notes Of Interest.
In the erection of building of this
character the average person may be
interested to know something of the
different materials required and the
different sections of the country from
which they are obtained. In the con-
struction of the concrete, some of the
gravel is from European countries and
also from South America and else
where, coming here as ballast in YES
sells. The steel for the structural
parts of the house was made of iron
ore from the mines in Pennsylvania,
manufactured into biHets and shipped
in this form to the steel rolling mills
in New Jerses where it was rolled in
to the shapes required and then ship
ped by vessel to this place for use in
the new building.
The stone was taken from the
quarries in Indiana, shipped here in
the blocks, and cut to the required
form before being set in the building.
The marb1e is principally from
Tennessee, some Of it, however, being
imported Italian, while the oak which
constitutes the pricipal trim and fin
ish OF the building Is from the forests
of the north, being worked into shape
and manufactured into doors. trim,
etc.
The plastering throughout the build
ing was manufactured from gypsum

Germany, Pennsylvania, New Jersey.

Of water consumed in the construc,ioc

of this size requires approximately Is.
900 barrels or three-fourths of million
gallons Of water. This water is usel
for mixing the concrete into plastic
condition, tempering mortar for mas
onry, etc., which all goes into the
floors and walls Of the building. This
volume of water expressed in other
terms would amount TO 10 train loads
on a basis of Is cars 10 a train and 10
barrels to each car. 1t is interesting
to speculate as to what becomes Of
this immense volume of water after
going into the building.
There are from 400 TO 500 tons Of
steel used, or about Is car loads; 5000
to 5000 barrels of cement, or about 50
cars; and about four cars of re-infOrc.

In structure of this size and only

Lake City People
Going the Limit

The Journal quite agrees with its
contemporary, the Tampa Tribune
that Lake City is going the limit in
rs opposition to the removal of the
State University. The Tribune says:
The Tribune confesses a panied
surprise at the extent to which the
people OF Lake City have gone in
their efforts TO handicap the removal

means to prevent the removal, but to

obstruction.
The Tribune congratulates the peo
pie Of Gainesville on the unusual but
prompt and effective manner in
which they surmounted the obstacles
thrown in their way by the jealous
lake Cityites. They simply shipped
the necessary teams from their own
city and had the hauling done.
1t is hoped that this dnal ill-tem-
peyed bit of retaliation ON the part
Of Lake City marks the finish of that

versity will duly proceed to begin a

are in the humber walks of life, un

OF them over in West Florida, who

South not likely to be matched by
any representative of the New. We

him as a grand old man:

Prof. Allen is in his 10th year and is

poets to be similarly engaged for many
years to come. Last year he taught
school for nine consecutive months
and never lost a day. Although IS
years old, he has never worn eye

A Vice President
in a New Roll

"A recent interview with Chas. A
Towne, in reference to the use of his
name as candidate for vice presi
dent on the ticket with Mr.. Bryan
sheds new light on Mr.. organs idea
OF the uses and functions of a vice
president.
Heretofore The vice president of tine
United States has been sort of poll
teal hiatus-a hole cut out OF
nothing with no rim left. He has
never amounted to anything while
the president lived, no one has ever
paid any attention to him, and so faz
as being Of any practical use was
concerned he might just as well have
been covered up and cemented down
inside OF one OF those glass cases
that the anthropological building at
Washington possesses.
But Mr.. Bryan we are told will not
have that kind of vice president
that Ia, If he has one at all. Mr.
Towne SAYS: 'Tf elected president,
Mr. Bryan, know, will inaugurate
an entirely new policy relative to the
vice president He will make the
vice president a member of his cab
dnet, thus greatly enhancing the i'm
portance and influences of that Office
and establishing precedent which
each succeeding president will have
to follow"
This is a good idea as we'll as a
new one and it is, moreover, exactly
what one would expect from VIM. ].
Bryan. There is no reason why the
vice president should be considered
as nonentity. Every vice president
Is likely to be called on at any time
to serve as president, just as Theo-
dore Roosevelt was called upon. But
whether he is ever to serve as chief
executive or not, he should be called
into the councils Of the president and
he should become a factor as well as
q figure head In the affairs of the
government.
There are numerous reasons for
this, but one reason alone for incor-
porating Mr.. Bryan's idea into prac-
tice ought to be sufficient-dt win
make people more careful in the Sc
lection of their vice presidents.

Marks New Era.
The erection of this new fire proof
building marks a new era of construc-
ton that not only interests property
owners and business tenants, but that
benefits, to greater or lesser degree
all T'ensacolians as well.
1T may surprise many people to
know that this is the first and only
strictly modern fire-proof store and
office building erected in the state of
Florida, as neither Jacksonville, Tam
pa, nor any other Florida cities have
yet erected a structure of this nature.
The principal materials used are brick,
iron, steel and reinforced concrete,
and this construction Is observed from
the foundation to and including the
roof, which not only removes the pos
slbifity Of fire, but also establishes a
structure which Is equally as endura-
Bile aginst time as against it's other
enemy, fire. ALI of the partitions and
floors are of solid reinforced con.
crete, making them absolutely ver-
min proof, as well as fire proof, SO
that neither rats, bugs, reaches, nor
any other animal or insect life can
exist in them.
A Huge Structure.
The Brent building has a frontage
Of 240 feet on Palafox street and the
main building extends back to a depth
OF 120 feet to rear street. There
are ten stores in the first story and
and marble entrance in which will
be cigar and newsstand, back Of
which is the elevator, and at the rear
OF the elevator. barber shop. The
second and third story each has room
for "a Offices, provided with all mod
ern conveniences and equipment.
Back Of the main building is a large
brick ware house: for the use Of the

house all under his immediate super
vision and capable of easy access.
While to the casual observer the
Brent Building appears only as a
three story structure, yet if the front
age on Palafox street were only 60
feet, the building would be equal to
a twelve story building, 60 feet front
by 120 feet deep, and the warehouse
in the rear Of equal width would be
