IMPROVING EQUINOX
Sweeping Renovations and Changes
at Manchester's Summer Resort.

| When patrons of the Equinox
House go to Manchester next sum
mer they will find sweeping changes
in that hotel property, though the
front appearance Of the main build
ing will be the same The changes,
| in brief, involve greater Office room
splendid new dining hall, the ar.
rangement of the ballroom in the
main building, the remodeling of the
music hall and casino into sleeping
| apartments, an entirely new building
for the kitchen on the same level and
connected with the dining a
new chauffeurs' hotel and a new 100
car garage, which will be built a
short distance from the hotel. These
! Improvements involve the expendi-
ture of about 100000. The con-
tracts call for their completion May
15 but with the uncertainties of
contract work the hotel has made ar
rangements not to open until June
%, 1918, or ten days later than usual.
In speaking of the contemplated
Improvements this morning Manager
a. L. Martin said that the front of
the hotel would be retained intact
and that the changes would first be
noted after entering the doors. The
diningroom is to be enlarged by ex-
tending il to the west and south,
making it 100 feet long and forty
feet wide. The dining-hall will be
two and one-half stories high with
dome effect 1t will be glass-ncloseG
and will be very attractive, giving a
splendid view of Equinox Mountain.
The kitchen, which was formerly on
the floor beneath the dining room.
will be a separate brick fireproof
building on the Same level and
connected with the dining-room. 1t
will be 75x40 feet in dimensions. 1t
will be the last word in kitchen CON
struction and will provide consider
ably improved service. The floor
beneath the new dining-hall will be
devoted TO three private dining
rooms, ladies' room. billiards, card
and toilet rooms.
All of this work was started the
, latter part of October, directly after
the house was closed for the season.
AT present, according to Mr.. Martin,
the house lis all torn up" However
the roof of the new dining-room viii

for the kitchen, garage and chaut-
feurs' hotel are practically completed
