S. W. PHILBRGcK's OFFICES.

The apartments overlooking Water
street on the second floor are design
ed in an office suite for the various
companies, enterprises and trustees
ships with which Mr.. Philbrick is con
nected.
Mr.. Philbrick's private office is Il
by 10 feet in size. The personal desk
of the proprietor will be located here
with tables, chairs and cases of sub
stantial design and other furnishings
for the comfort and convenience OF
the owner during business hours.
Opening from the private office and
also accessible from the main hallway
is a general Office Is by 25 feet in size

Desks, of various kinds, filing cases,

The building was designed by Wm.
NJ. Buttertield of Manchester, n. II ,
and has been under his care as super

The Somerset reporter., 1906-04-19

Work on the Philbriek Ward block
on the site just west of Coburn Hall
lot, has now progressed to such a
stage that a very good idea may be
had of what the completed building
will present both as to external and
internal appearance. The time has
seemed long to the public, who have
been watching this building grow
from the beginning OF the excavation
in June 1900 to the present time, and
we have no doubt that it has seemed
| interminable to the owners who have
been anxious to get into their new
quarters, but when the nature of the
construction is understood it is easy
to see that the intervening months
have been we'll spent.
The building has frontage OF 81
feet on Water street and runs back to
the street line of Russell street with
an average depth of 1870 feet. The
! Water street front is three stories in
| height, the distance from the side
walk to the top of the ornamental
coping being 81 feet. Pressed Ohio
! brick are used for both the Water
street and Russell street exposures,
with trimmings of Indiana limestone.
The show window on Water street
has two large plates of glass, one ON
either side of the entrance, each 8xS4
feet. The door is carried back about
seven feet from the street, fianked on
each side by large plate glass win
! doWs, the floor of the entrance being
tesse1ated tiling. Above the plate
glass panes is section of loaded glass
| of ornamental design and deck or
shelf divides the window at the base
| of this loaded section so that the por-
tion above admits light to the store
while the part below, which is of
ample height, is reserved for display
The same plan of plate glass below
and upper loaded section is used ON
Russell street, but the windows at
| that entrance are not decked.
| A basement eight feet in height ex-
tends under the whole block. The
roof is covered with gravel and drains
at the center About midway of the
building a light we'll 10x15 feet de
scends to the ceiling of the Ward
company's store, furnishing light
where it is most needed and also
serving to increase the light adVan
tageously on the second floor The
walls of this light well are of brick,
and additional security, so far as fire
risk is concerned, is afforded by the
wired glass used at the bottom of the
well and in the light apertures on the
sides This glass is imbedded with n
wire screen, fine enough not to ex-
clude the light but of sufficient
strength to maintain the glass in po-
sition against the heat of fire or when
subject to breakage from any other
cause. This wired glass is also used in
other windows which open toward
area which now have or may in the
future have wooden buildings upon
them. The latest methods of con
struction are employed in every part
of the building, steel beams, concrete,
metal lathing, etc, making the build
| ing practically fire proof.
