NEW PEoUoT CASINO
TO COST ABOUT $4,000
New Building VIII be Completed by
Spring-Contract Awarded.

H. R. Douglas, Inc, has been
awarded the contract for rebuilding
the Pequot Casino, which was par
TALLY destroyed by fire Labor day. APP
proximately $4,000 will be expended
in restoring the Fashionable clubhouse.
The structure will be considerably
modified from it's former style in the
plans which have ben prepared by the
architectt Hoppin, Koen & Sullivant
of New York.
1t will consist of two stories instead
of three and there will be but five
seelping rooms. Hitherto the Casino
has served as a sort of private hotel
for a limited number of guests but in
the new arrangements this feature will
be largely eliminated. Another change
will be the construction of a long We
randa on the Pequot avenue side.
Wood will be utilized as the building
material. The type of roof will be diff
ferent and in other ways the appear
ance of the building will be altered.
Mr.. Douglas will begin work soon and
will have the Casino finished in the
early spring.
