The new headquarters and Office
building of the Dominion National

likewise been completed. The money
vault and the safe deposit vault are
protected against burglary and day
light as well as night time entrance
by the installation of an electric bur
glar alarm system, which consists of
cobweb network of leaden cables
and electrical contact built through
out the inner walls of the vault in
such manner that any attempt to
tamper With the combination, the
doors or any attempt to drill through
the walls of the vault will set off a
general alarm.
The safe deposit boxes will number
about six hundred and will be in
stalled in a special electrically pro-
! tecaed burglar-proof vault, separate
from the money vault and this vault
will have entrance-way from the pri
vate patrons lobby in which will be
installed booths for use of safe de-
posit box patrons.

ing provided for the exclusive use OF
lady depositors of the bank, and theiI
friends. Similar accommodations will
be afforded the male patrons. Writ
ing tables will be provided for both

privilege of availing themselves OF
these conveniences for the transac-
tion of business when down town.

ing doorway. A doorway entrance

vided from State street through the
stairway elevator hallway, which
leads to the Office rooms above.

and third floors, two-thirds of which
are occupied by the Virginia and
J Southwestern Railway company as
general Offices, are modernly equip
ped and are finished with painted
dalls and mahogany woodwork
