There is less4) building of
uubiiicms
houses and itfofre of resident this year
than formerly, Whicix is a healthy sign.
There are few. it any. residences va-
cait in Asheville.. The demand very
largely exceeds the supply in most-parts
of the city.
Tihere is a notable movement', howev
er, in the . construction of business
houses now that indicates the advance
of the city in an important direction.
We allude to the erection of wholesale
storage houses in the railway depot sec
tion of-the city. This summer will see
some large brick buildings of this char
acter constructed, and thte, we believe,
is but the beginning of this important
movement. . 1
We see rto signs of a lessening of
building activity Lp. the city. The
causes that have led (to it are perman
ent and increase ifi effectiveness as the
.0--lra, i3r .the building of
handsome and convenient hous'e amid
the pleasing surroundings that are
easy to obtain here. Persons come to
Asheville from ail sections of the coun
try for a brief visit to enjoy our climate
and nature's beauties. They find in
addition to these, which can disappoint
no person's expectations, an attractive
and enterprising city, and many con
clude that no where eLse can they find
a home where they can enjoy a longer
or more satisfactory life.
The new buildings' we mention below
that are now in the hands of contract
ors or builders are not a complete list
of the work being done in the city, ibut
are sufficiently near it to show the ex
tent and variety of the work.
' Work on the new Winyan sanitarium
is progressing rapidly. It is a large
three-story building finished in pebble
dash. The roof is shingled. There are
about four hundred feet of wide veran
dah, extending clear around each floor,
and at the top front corners are oc
tagonal) balconies. As one enters the
main building he encounters a fine en
trance hail with the parlors on one
side, and the hall amd stairways lead
ing to all parts of the house. There are
about thirty-five bed rooms in the main
building, fifteen bath rooms, kitchen,
dining room and steward's room, all of
which are most conveniently 'arranged.
There will also be a complete system of
electric lights and call ibells, and the
buidings will be heated by an indirect
system of steam.
On the 'left side of a main building is
a six-room cottage, the first story fin
ished in pebble dash and the second
shingled, which will be used as office
rooms. In the right is another cottage
containing' fifteen rooms, which will be
used for bed rooms. -
The water supply Will be furnished
from a well which has been dug near
the grounds. The water will be pumped
to ! reservoir high enough: to give wa
ter to. every room.
In the front is the porte cochere; wth
stone pillars. The foundation and pil
lars -are of stone. The entire plan is
very pleasing to the eye. The build
ing will be completed by October 1.
The new North Asheville M. B.
church, southron Chestnut street, near
McLoud alley, will be one of the hand
somest churches in the city.
The general plan is in the shape of a
cross. There ' are two spacious en
trances, arid on either side are stair
ways to the galleries. In the rear is
the organ and choir gallery. To the
right of this te the "pastor's study and
on the left are the -church parlors and
Ifbrary. ' There Is a'gallery on each side
and in front. Under the side gaflleries it
is so arranged that separate class rooms
can be shut -toff by. revolving partitions.
The seating capacity of the church, will
be five hundred persons. S. Smith
furnished i-thie . plans for the church.

Detroit. The latter were understood to
be employed by aldermen and citizens.
