The individuals have not yet fallen into special faults, but all show a lack...
...wall of the third story will be inserted a panel bearing the date of the building's erection, 1885. The cornice will be capped at each end by ornamental posts, between which will extend a highly ornamented iron railing. Altogether the design of the new block is very satisfactory, reflecting much credit upon the architect, Mr. W. P. Wentworth, of Boston. The structure will be completed during the summer recess.
