Almost Finished
New Grier Hotel and Depot
are Nearing Completion

The new Grier hotel will be
ready for its furnishings about
April Is, if no delays occur. The
building has a tiled roof, the first
story being of brick veneer, and
the second story, pebble dash
finish, making it practically fire.
proof. Many changes in the
specifications have been made since
the work on the structure began
and every change has been to
make the building better and at
the same time more expensive.
The ceilings of the lunch room
and the dining room are paneled,
and both. have pnaeled walls,
which will make these rooms two
of the most attractive in the build
ing. The office, in the east wing,
will have beamed oak ceiling,
finished in the natural grain of the
quarter sawed oak. The kitchen,
in the north wing has sanitary
floor, and is one of the best light
ed rooms we have seen, having
fourteen windows. The refriger-
ator is built in the west wall, and
is of the latest improved type,
having separate compartments for
meat, milk, butter, and vegetables.
1t is arranged to receive ice from
outside, and ice being entirely
entirely separated from the food.
A. sewing room, laundry room
and a help hall take up the re-
mainder>of the first floor. The
large furnace for the steam heat
as well as large store rooms are
located in the basement. There"
are twenty bedrooms on the second
floor. Five of these have a bath, 7,
with a tiled floor and tiled walls.
Every room will have a sanitary
wash stand. The rooms are large
and airy, and will be finished in
birch with mullion windows. On
the second floor there wifi also be
a reception hall at the head of the
stairs. All OF the hardware used
in the building is of a pleasing
pattern in brass. Each of the
bedrooms will have a fire escape.
With its modern conveniences,
and under the noted Grier manage
ment this will be one of the finest
and most correctly appointed
hostelries in the west, and by far
the best in this section of the state.
The contract is being executed by
James Dole, tor Geo. B. Swift 6
Co., large contracting firm in
Chicago. The big job has been
made more difficult because of the
many changes that have been
made in the plans since the work
began. The station is a two story
building, and will contain separate
waiting rooms, ticket Offices,
baggage rooms, and express office
on the first floor. The second
floor will be entirely devoted to
private offices of railroad men
here. This will be completed
about the same time as the hotel.
The two buildings when furnish
ed will cost triAe over 100000,
while the original contract was for
buildings to cost $4,000.
This is a measure shows just
what the Rock Island thinks of
Liberal-the best town in the
Southwest.
