by Arther Keeline and the building

marks another important step in the
progressiveness of Mrs. Mary Fl,
Conant, who represent the brains of
the Conant Hotel company.
The advent OF this splendid hos
telry hanks back to nearly quarter
of a century ago, when Mrs, Conant
came to Omaha and opened ten
room boarding house at Twentieth
and Burt streets. That boarding
house was something more than the
joke-book boarding house, where
hash and prunes were served with
sickening regularity. 1t became such
desirable boarding house that the

As time went on she saw her OPP
portunity TO expand, so she took
twenty room building on Douglas
street, known as the Albany" which
she managed with success. During
the Transmississippi exposition, Mrs.
Conant added few Figures to the
right side of her ledger. Eventually
she took the Bachelors on Farnam
street, west of Twentieth street. The
Bachelors proved another stepping
stone TO bigger things, That place
became something OF an institution
in the life of Omahas single men.
During 1907 the Conant Hotel COM

SANFORD HOTEL IS

The new Sanford hotel and the
ground it occupies represent All in

is not the largest in Omaha, but it
represents the most modern ideas of
hotel construction, and in some re-
spccts il is superior to other hotels

absolutely 6reproof The only wood
is that which was used in the doors
and the window castings.
The structure is Of seven floors
and basement and has $50 rooms
The old Sanford has fifty rooms

building The hotel was erected
with view of adding three more
floors, which eventually will be done
Skeleton Type.
The general construction is rein
forced concrete and is of the skcle-
ton type. which means that the walls
do not serve in the strength factor
Of the building. The walls could be
taken out and the building would
stand as a rock-ribbed structure
This is an engineering Improvement
OF comparatively recent date and has
been approved by the most eminent
builders OF the country.
The floors Of the rooms and halls
are covered with cement, upon which
was laid padding and then carpets OF
comfortable thickness and pleasing
design. There is not stick of wood
in any of The floors. In designing
this hotel the architects provided that
each corridor should have daylight
and direct ventilation. The advan-
tage of this feature lies in the posi-
bility OF each room being ventilated
with fresh air through these CORR
doris. With windows at the ends of
corridors, the hotel is well supplied
with sunlight and fresh air. The un-
desirability of dead-end corridors has
impressed itself upon builders OF
hotels.
Absolutely Fireproof.
Although it would be impossible
for fire of any consequence to occur
in the new Sanford, the stairway
leading from each floor is equipped
with patent-spring door which
serves as an added factor of safety
