 One pleasing feature of the exterior is the new type of awnings which have been used. There has been con siderable discussion of late regarding the old wooden awnings which are SD numerous in Phoenix. Most of them are unsightly. The wooden posts serve as splendid backing for loungers and the work of installing ornamental street lights has been seriously handicapped by them. The Goodrich building awnings are of can vas. stretched on steel frames. In- stead of posts, chains are used. sus pending the awnings from the sides of the building The shades are high enough to clear the street lights
 It has taken about eight months to erect this new block. and the cost will be S55.O
