 Work of reconstructing, or rather re- habilitating, the Columbus National Bank building, which was partially destroyed in the conflagration which, recently vis- ited this city, is now under way. P. J.. Krouse of Meridian, who has been em- ployed as architect, found after examin- ing the walls that they were sufficiently strong to support a four-story build ing, and as this will be the height of the rehabilitated structure it was decided to make use of them. While the build ing, when completed. will contain only four floors, the addition of an ornamental cornice will make it appear almost as high as the old structure. which was six stories in height. The work Is being pushed forward with great rapidity, as not only bank officials but various ten- ants who had offices in the building are anxious to get back into their old quar- ters as soon as possible.
