w. G. Gilbert and wife, of this place,
are busily engaged packing their
household goods, preparatory to NOV
ing to Rochester, n. Y, where Mr..
Gilbert has purchased the Hotel Egg
gleston, situated at 1853 Main Street
East. We have before US the Roches-
ter Sunday Herald, of June 10th, 1910,
wherein we notice beautiful illustra-
ted article on this large and popular
house. The building, is large four
| story brick structure, containing about
160 sleeping rooms.
he rooms have all the modern ap-
pointments, the major portion being
equipped with bath, electric call and
telephone service. The furnishings
are elegant, while the decorations are
! indeed most restfuI, yet grand to look
upon.
The lobby is work of art with its
English glass doors, unique combina-
tions of plate and colored glass win
dows and side walls decorated with a
beam effect, while in the ornamented
relief work the frescoer has added a
touch of color in red and gold that
lends to the place most pleasing
atmosphere.
The buffet, which is to the west side
of the lobby, with entrance from Main
Street, is, as in the past, supplied with
those fine old mellow wines and
liquors that gained for it the enviable
reputation that it has enjoyed since
first opening.
The new and spacious dining and
banquet rooms are reached by individ-
ual entrance from Main Street, corner
of Stone. These rooms are finished
after the old English timbered idea in
Antwerp finish, deep brown, with
ceiling and sidewall gnished in modern
and antique renaissance. Electric fix
lures of the German lantern style, with
subdued lights, suspended from the
ceiling, reflect their rays through
colored glass, lending added charm to
the surroundings.
The barber shop, which is at the rear
OF the banquet hall, is reached through
the hotel lobby; also entrance from
Stone Street This is, TO Say the least,
one Of the most modern barber shops
in Now York State, the entire trim
mings being in tile, giving il that i'm
