THE TEARING DOWN
Of DAVIS HALL IS
NOW UNDER WAY
FORTY-ROOM BUILDING AT THE
ATHENAEUM WILL BE
RAZED.
MATERIAL USED FOR ORPHANAGE
Architect Williams Employed And
Placed in Active Charee-Desisns
For New Structure Not Yet Ac-
cepted.

Actual work towards the building
of the Tennessee Orphans Home was
begun Thursday when the task of tear
ing down Davis Hall, the building donat-
ed by the city, was begun. The work is
being done under the supervision Of
Mr.. Williams, a Nashville architect,
and will be completed within three
weeks, according to present calcula
lions.
The building committee in charge
of the erection of the orphanage, has
recently considered a number of plans
and have consulted several architects.
After mature deliberation they con-
eluded to employ Mr., Williams to SUI
perintend the demolition of Davis
Hall, in order that none of the ma
terial be wasted. By the time this
work is done Mr.. Williams will have
drawn plans for the orphanage, and
the active work of construction will
begin.
It is estimated that Davis Hall con
tains 100000 brick and about $1,000
worth of lumber. The property was
donated the orphanage by the city,
and it is expected that fully $4,000 will
be realized from all the material that
1t contains.
About $4,000 in money has been
subscribed for the building of the or
phanage, in addition to the funds paid
for the lots This sum is sufficient to
meet present demands, and it is ex-
pected that by the time that the mon
ey is expended twice that amount will
have been subscribed. Beginning the
first of next year Rev. w, T. Boaz will
canvass the state In the interest Of the
institution so that a handsome and
building may be complet-
ed. The orphanage will be maintain
ed by voluntary contributions from
the various Christian churches
the state. Already the
First Christian church of Columbia |
has dedicated its first Sunday offerings
10 this cause, and many other church
IS will emulate the example.
1t is expected that the orphanage !
will be completed within the next six
months. The design for the building
las not been determined upon.
