INSPECTOR work in the building lint
has taken on much brighter aspec
than has obtained for some time
past.
Plans made by Brown and White
side architects. for the magnificent
church building at Eighteenth street
between the Boulevard and Jefferson
street, for the congregation Of the
Hanover Presbyterian Church, have
been accepted and the CONTRACT

Company. contractors, at a cost OF
S62,645.
The new church building with
which the old Sunday school build
ing will be incorporated, will prove
one OF the most imposing edifices
along ecclesiastical lines in the city.
The new building will occupy the
entire lot bounded by Boulevard,
Jefferson and Eighteenth streets
and will consist of the main build
ing or nave, which viii rise to the
lofty height of nearly SO feet, and
side aisles running TO the property
lines on the Boulevard and Jeffer-
son street. The side or clerestory
walls of the nave will rise above the
roof of the aisles, and will be pierced
with large windows which will light
the entire interior OF the building.
The chancel end of the nave. in
which will be grouped the pulpit,
pastors room. choir room and organ
space will terminate the building at
Eighteenth street. and this elevation
will be dominated by a large tracery
window which will be filled in with
loaded glass. as will all the other
exterior windows above the base
ment.
The general character of the
building will merge with the pres
ent structure, the same stone being
used for the walls. but the new por-
ton will be of little more decora-
tive Gothic style or architecture,
following in many ways the later
English Gothic type.
The main auditorium. which will
be a few steps above the sidewalk
level will be reached by large vesti-
bules on the Boulevard and on JEFF
ferson street. and the basement
which will also communicate with
these two entrances and in addition
have an entrance on Eighteenth
street. will contain another large au-
ditorium. also kitchens, pantry,
stage and dressing rooms for the So
ciai work Of the church.
The new church will seat approxi-
mately 700 persons. in the main au-
ditorium. and about 500 in the base
ment auditorium. Work will be
started Immediately. and it is ex-
pected that it will be under roof be-
fore winter weather sets in.
