The building stands on fine lot on
North Main street just a few feet

words, 1.-The Salvation Army" on a
white stone slab across the front. 1t

stories and high basement under

rooms occupy the entire first floor. A
handsome steel ceiling covers the au-
ditorium, I he floors are hard wood,
and the other furnishings are of hard
pine. There are two entrances on
Main street and one in the rear.
Upstairs arc commodious and con-
venient living rooms for he officers
of the corps, with bath, closets, and
modern convenicnces. The building
is supplied with city water and a large
cistern will furnish an adequate sup
ply of soft water. There are two very
pleasant rooms in front on the second
floor, which will probably be rented
for Office purposes.
