Streets.
AN ORNAMENT TO THE CITY
To BE Rushed to Completion in
Time to Accommodate James
town Visitors.
AN ORNAMENT TO THE CITY

Colonel John Murphy Is going to build
a sky-scrapor, and he is going to do it
without any unnecessary delay.
The ten-story, up-to-date apartment
house, for such 1t Is to be, will be con-
tracted for In very short while, and the
purpose OF the enterprising Colonel Muir
ply is to have it completed in time to
be OF service in sheltering part of the
throngs that will be attracted to Rich
mond next year by the Episcopal Council
and the Jamestown Exposition. The build
ing will be on tho northeast corner of
Eighth and Grace Streets Will have u
frontage OF eighty feet on Grace and run
back 125 feet on Eighth Street. 1t VIII
be erected entirely of steel. bricks ana
tiles, and as near to freproof as these
materials and science can make IT.
Colonel Murphy has kept. his own coun-
sell and only yesterday made public his
plans and Intentions. He has notified
the present occupants OF tho premises to
vacate as quickly as possible. and as
soon as they do SO tho work of tearing
down the buildings and making the ex-
cavation will be commenced, probably in
two weeks In the meantime Architect
Bryant is drawing up the plans, and
as soon as these are ready bids for the
puiluuiS Will De dSheU. Dy llls liIilo tHti
contractors are ready for work the old
buildings will have been removed, the ex-
cavation made and the work of erecting
the sky-scraper will meet with no de-
lay.
Speaking yesterday OF his new enter
prise, Colonel Murphy said: THE building
VIII be so arranged that 1t will be adapt
ed for use as a hotel in case there is
need. That will be done the first year,
at any rate, in order TO accommodate
the crowds that will be here at the
jamestown Exposition and at the sessions
of the Episcopal Council. There will he
an enormous crowd here then, and 1t is
desirable to get the buildings completed
in order to afford proper Accommodations
for all who may Come. The new house
is to be primarily an apartment house.
with rooms en- suite to the number of
from two to six. Modern double eleva-
tors will be installed. and there will be
the heating plant. the light plant. the best
ventilation and telephone systems, no
wood or anything combustible in the
structure. The whole is to be of steel.
bricks and tile. 1t is my intention to
have some of the suites equipped for
housekeeping with ranges and Kitchens
The completed building, which Is to he
ten stories high. will cost not less than
10000, and the furnishings perhaps $780,
600 more.
