FAST DISAPPEARING

An Improvement that is intended to
be largely Of a temporary character
has been undertaken by Thomas F.
Walsh In the erection OF a thTee-stOTy
brick office building at 152l-l323 g street
northwest. The old structures that en-,
numbered the property were not OF such
a character as Mr.. Walsh felt were be-
fitting such a prominent street as g
street has become. and while not en-
tirely decided as 10 what permanent i'm
provement would be best suited. he con-
cluded 10 erect such a building as would
be n step IN advance.
The property fronts forty-f1ve feet.

floor viii be divided into two stores.
The second floor Will be given up to
office rooms. while the third story viii
be entirely devoted TO a Photographic

contract has been given 20 H. Y. Sand
