HOW HAMMOND GROWS.
PLANS FOR ANOTHER
new BUILDING

Plans are very near contamination
by which DR.. II. c. Groman and Gus
tav Muenich will build a three story
building on the west side of South
Holman street, in the middle of the
block, between Muenfeh court and Rus
sell street
The building is to cover fifty feet OF
frontage. and will be one of the most
attractive business blocks in the city.
The plans have been drawn by a Chi
cago architect and the building is to be
of steel and brick construction.
DR.. II. c. Groman owns twenty FIVE
feet OF the frontage and Muenich owns
the other twenty-five feet. While the
building will appear as one block. each
part will retain a separate ownership
of his portion of the building.
Building Now Rented.
Tt is understood that the main floor
has already been rented to very good
advantage and the second floor has
also been rented in advance of the
building of the new block. The third
floor will be cut up into flats.
The whole proposition hinges on get
ting a loan, and if there IS not hitch
in the proceedings this afternoon the
actual work of construction will begin
within a few weeks.
1t is expected that the building will
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000. 1t

THE ARCHITECT AND
HIS COLOR SCHEME

Too often the architect is ruled. in
adopting a color scheme, by preference
of the owners imposed after the lot has
been purchased and type of house de-
signed TO go upon it. Arbitrarily set
conditions, added to those imposed by
nature, rarely produce acceptable re-
suits. Provided no voice in the sur
roundings chosen for a building is al
lowed the architect. the natural eondi-
tions and surroundings themselves
should be permitted to definitely gov
ern the selection of final color scheme
If. on the other hand. the color scheme
is considered of most Importance. the
trained professional should be allowed
