Special Correspondence of The Herald
VENICE. April Reconstruction
work on the new 100000 bath house
on Ocean -ront is now so far advanced
as to give the observer some idea of
the dimensions of the building and of
the space the finished structure will
occupy. The arching for the massive,
semi-circular roof is practically all in
place and the intricate false work"
supporting it. gives the skeleton struc-
ture a weird appearance. c. H. Rus
sell is the architect.
The roof at it's highest point, is near
ly 100 feet from the ground. The COM
pleted bath house will occupy ground
space of 169X239 feet and there will be
two stories to the building. Spanish
renaissance is the type of architecture
chosen for the structure, and stone
cement will be the material used in the
construction of the ornamental facade.
The plunge, around and over which the
bath house is being built, has been in
use for some time. 1t measures 100x
$50 feet.
Preliminary work on the aquarium
and museum on the Windward avenue
pier, to seaward of the auditorium, be-
gan today, and 1t Is expected that the
driving of piles that are to support the
structure will be under way within the
next few days. This building will
measure 45x10O feet ground space, and
the aquarium part will contain thirty
one tanks, including seal tank meas
uring 10x10x27 feet. The museum will
be devoted to a collection of archae-
illogical relics gathered by Professor
Cole.
The giant shark picked up last week
l,,r +he pa soline launch Success is on
exhibition at the end of the pier and Is
attracting crowds of curious sightseers
1t may be placed later in the museum
If room for 1t can be found there.
The museum, aquarium and bath
house will be completed about June 10.
The bath house was started ten days
