In few weeks work on THE Abbott"
George A. Eelss new apartment house
at the corner of Canal and South Main
streets, will be completed and the cosy
homes will be occupied by their tenants.
Within the past six months the corner
has been greatly changed, and in
place of the old blacksmith and paint
shop buildings Mr.. Eels has erected
light colored brick building four stories
high, of pleasing appearance and one
that improves materially that section of
the town. Although there remains much
work to be done, Mr. Eels hopes that
the apartments will be ready for occu-
pancy by Nov l.
The front and east sides are of light
colored New Jersey brick and the west
and south sides are of red construction.
The ornamental part of the structure is
of cement. The craftsmanship is of the
highest quality and the architect, Paul
r. Henkel of New York, a former resi-
dent of Brattleboro, designed the struc-
ture with an eye to utility as well as
beauty.
The apartments have been arranged so
that there are six having five rooms.
