A HANDSOME WINDOW
Two or three weeks ago we noted
the work in remodeling the front
of James P.Hoffecker's drug store
in pdtting in a full projecting bulk
, window of the most modern de-
sign. AS stated, it is of the RE
Nuisance" order of architecture
consisting of bullions, and the
mullions, and brackets, and re-
ceeding dentals, concentric lights
of colored cathedral glass, ground
and figured and heavy plate glass
of the old Queen Anne style with
doors and broadside window of the
same style. The window has been
greatly admired both for its novel
ty and beauty. 1t is of the very
latest design in this country, there
being yet only two or three in
each of the large cities and this
is the only one in this State.
