spects, will be the most attractive
business house in the city.
The directors of the consolidated
Bank of Maysville in their first meet
ing held Thursday afternoon definite
ly decided to build an entire new
building for their bank on the present
site of the old Bank Of Maysville
building. For several weeks Weber &
Weber, Cincinnati architects, have
been working on plans for the pro-
posed new building and the first
sketches were submitted to the direc-
tors Thursday and greatly pleased
them.
These drawings are for a building
ITO feet and inches deep and 43 feet
and 6 inches wide. This takes in the
entire width of the Bank Of Maysville
lot. The building will be of stone
and brick and two stories in heighth.
The front will be stone, with four
large and handsomely carved pillars
running from the ground line to the
cornice. The new building will be
built on the level with the sidewalk
and entering the massive doors one
will step into large lobby 9S feet and
inches wide and 10 feet and inches
deep. At the end of this lobby coun-
ters will be placed on either side leav-
ing lobby between the counters of
46 feet-1S feet wide leading back to
the vaults at the rear.
The .new bank will contain three
large vaults-a money vault, book
vault and special vault for safety
boxes.
On the East side of the main floor
will be located the officers quarters
and the Savings and Note Tellers
while the West side of the building
will be located the commercial depart
ment where are the paying and record
ing tellers as we'll as the bookkeepers
Back Of this lobby and around the
vaults will be two consultation rooms
and an ample number of coupon
| booths, toilet and rest rooms for the
use of employees and customers.

beautiful stone stairway leading from
the West side of the front lobby one
| will enter a magnificent Mezzaine floor
on which will be located directors S
room and ladies' reception room.
From this Mezzaine floor one will look
down upon the main banking room.
From the edge of this Mezzaine floor
the main banking rooms ceiling will
reach to the top Of the building in
which there will be many sky lights
This high ceiling will extend back to
the large vaults and over the vaults
a large number of windows will ad-
NIT much light onto the main bank
ing floor.
The fixtures Of the new bank will
be Of marble and mahogany. Work
Twill be begun at once at dismantline
the fixtures in the old Bank of Mays
vile building as they will be used in
the new building. The old building
will be torn down to the ground and
1t is thought that within a month the
contract for the erection of the new
building will be let by the directors.
Weber Brothers say that the new
Bank Of Maysville building will be the
most modern banking house possible
to erect and it will contain all of the
most modern appliances to assist in
the handling OF the banks immense
business.
