Union County Home For Aged and Infirm Main Knilding.
Tin- new county home of I'niou
county is perhaps the iumt com
plete a. id up-to-date institution of
its kiml in North Carolina. The
home is situated two and a half
miles west of Monroe, on the
Vaxhaw road, a little over half
way Mwceii Monroe and the fa-1
nioiis Tindle place. The farm,
which was purchased from Mr. F.
11. Wolfe, comprises 214 aerea,
und the home grounds contain
four or five acres. Walks and
drives have been laid out by a
landscape gardener and the whol
appearane.'.wheii a little time has
lapsed, will he one of beauty.
The county commissioners have

buildings and a' tin same time
securing sufficient farming lands,
the work of caring for our un
fortunate oin-s will he easier.more

If Charhs lickeiis, who wrote
one of his most faiious novels to
ridicule and so reform the work
house system of Knglaud. could
rise from the dead and view an
institution like this designed for
the unfortunate of the community!
he would have a wonderful exani-j
pie of how far civilization and '
philanthropy have advanced in
these hundred years.
The contract for the building!
was let to Mr. l. M. Tin ker and j
be has done a job that is a credit i
to himself, to the commissioners
who employed him. and to the
people of this good county. The
writer of this article has had oc
casion to examine buildings put ,
up for the State at some of its
institutions and he unhesitating
ly says that the new county home
building of I'nion county, in Ar
rangement, desiirn. workmanship
and material, far surpasses 'some
of them. This does not mean tlu.j
any unnecessary finery has been!
put on the home, but that in its
simple design, careful workman-j
ship, and the ipiality of material.!
is all that could be required, and
when cost is considered, highly!
superior. .No' lung nut nuiesi
work throughout could accom
plish Sllell results.
There iire four buildings, and
tiny set back from the road some
ihrec hundred feet. They are of
a bite unit bric k, with cement
trimmings.steps i.nd porch floors.
The style of ardiitcturc is colo
nial, simple and pretty. The main
building is of routs most promi
nent as it faces the road. It is
112 feet long and :I4 feet deep,
with a wing in the rear ."2 x
HI. To the rear ef it is the
building for. the colored inmates,
situated some seventy feet back.
It is GO x :i(. haH four wards,
baths, closets, heating, etc.. like
the white building. In the right
of the centre of tihe two buildings
is the building designed for the
insane who may from time to
time be in the county 'a care. It
has four small wards, two bath
rooms, a nurse b room, and all
the heating fixtures are arranged
in the eciling far out of reach of
the unfortunate inmates. Oppo
site this building to the left of
the centre is the infirinarv. It
has four wards, nurse's room,
baths, etc.. with an incincrary in
the rear for the burning of all
dangerous on infected articles.
Going back to the main build
ing, it is of interest to describe
it more in detail. The main en
trance is in the centre and opens
into a lobby or reception room.
On each end of the building from
this iHiint are six wards, one set
lor the men, and one for the wo
men, Kach has its own baths,
tub and shower, closets, etc. This
is duplicated up stairs. From
the central lobby the stairs rise,
and from the head of this stairs
the keeper's office appears in
front, and his living rooms,
kitehin. and dining room, which
arc iu the ell. When his offi
ces are closed the inmates can
not pass from one end of the
building to the other, but may
use the d"ors iu the ends of the
bui'diag.

supplied by a generator run by a
gasoline engine, and water will

The kitehin, boiler room, and
all places where fire will be used
are shut off by a solid brick wall

WHY
Piedmont Buggies
are the height of perfection
in huggy building.
To build & buggylthat combines style, comfort, finish and durability
has been our aim since the fir? t conception of Piedmont Busies. Our fac
tory is located in the famous Piedmont section of North Carolina-the
best timbered section in this country: our machinery is of the latest
improved patterns; every man in our shop is a skilled mechanic, and every
inch of material used is carefully selected and inspected by experts. These
are some of the conditions that go to make Piedmont Buggies the heightjof per
fection in buggy building. I t
We have studied carefully the requirements of buggies in the South, and
endeavor to construct our Piedmont Busies to meet these conditions-they are
built in the South, by Southern people and for the Southern people.
Piedmont Buggies will give you better service,
last longer, and cost less to keep up.
