UNUSUAL INTEREST BEING MANIFESTED Last Word in Hotel Con struction, Hostelfcy Fills Need Felt In the City for Many Years. —* — Concord's long cherished dream of nn elegant, ultra-modern hostelry baa at last come true with the formal op ening today of the. new Hotel Con cord. an event that overshadows ev erything else in local interest. . The half a million dollar strnetnre, standing as a towering monument to ; the civic pride of- its owners and tha genius of its builders, was opened t'uia afternoofi 'at 2 o'clock nt which time an interested public took ad vantage of the opportunity to inspect it minutely, so they could get first hand information about the much f heralded structure. Ftd'owing the informal ojtening this nfternoon the first dinner and donee, _ will be staged in the .building this evening, tables having been arranged in the dance hail to tnke care of the large number'expected to attend. Fifteen years ago Concord began to feel the need of a new and modern ■ hotel. • The growing city had only an anteqnated hotel structure .pnd a few rooming houses and with the trav eling public wail receiving a black eye. No one stopped over night here if possible to mbve on and Concord lost much good business. t i This condition led to the erection , of the modern ..hostelry which was 1 opened today. Several months ago a number of men and women of the city organised the Concord Realty Company, the object of the organiza tion being the erection of a com modious and modern hotel in the city. The optimism of these people ami the civic pride shown by those per sons who subscribed for stock in the plant have made it possible for Con- 1 cord to boost today of a hotel second to none in the South in structure, ] equipment and appearance. f Those parsons who are familiar 1 with such questions say the new Ho- 1 fa! Concord building is everything 1 that a leading hotel architect of the country could make it, so far as a 1 building of its size is concerned. Not ] n feature that might add to the es- 1 ficiency of the plant or make it at tractive and serviceable has been ov- ! erlooked. One enters the Hotel Concord • through an arcade which offers at- ] tractive quarters for shops on either ' side. Large plate glass windows I flank either side of the arcade which ends at the steps leading into the ! spacious lobby of the hostelry. 1 The lobby is large being about 40 by 55 feet, finished in walnut and 1 having a handsome mezzanine just 1 to the rear of the steps lending from ' the main entrance. The general desk, 1 cigar counter and other features are 1 conveniently located. The furniture 1 is exquisite. The elevator shaft is 1 just to the left of the stairway lead- j ing from the arcade, and an entrance - to the coffee shop is just to the left of the shaft. Across the lobby from the main en trance is the dining room, with seat ing capacity of 100. The room ia ■ exquisitely finished, being one of the most beautiful In the building. The furniture is of the finest and most beautiful design. , The room is fin- ' ishe<l in' fawn and old ivory,: the ceil ing and wall panels being in high lighted relief. Furniture, draperies, silverware, china and electrical fix- , , lures blend harmoniously in the whole Id scheme of thee* rodm. w T.ie bail room, located conveniently to the rear of the mezzanine, 1« a thing of great beauty. Oreat over! topped, cathedral-like windowa are draped aad curtained in rich old rose and gold, crystal lighting fixtures are... used and the floor ia of the .checked design in golden oak. The kitchen, storage rooms, refrig erating plant, boiler rooms and main switchboard are located down on the ground floor behind and below the lobby, club'dining room and ballroom. These contain the last word in ma chinery and equipment. ! The colfhe shop is located on one corner of the building, with a Union street entrance: It can be' entered ‘ easijy - from the interior of the hotel and promises to be one of the moat popular features of the hotel. . The club dining room, over the coffee shop and near the ball room, is elegantly equipped and can aeeom- t modate 75 persons. . In addition there is a private dining room for twelve, also handsomely furnished. Baggage is brought in through the rear of the building and carried on a service elevator up to the aample rooms on the various -floors. A s*r-« ▼lce stairway is afro provided for employee and all doors are sound proof to prevent «ny annoyance to guests in the building.
