The work of toaring down tho old building on the northeast corner of Fay.ettevIIIe and, Hargett streets has begun, and thus will oie fuOre of the landmarks 01 Kalelgh disappear. It Is' on the corner where the old three-glory building now stands that the. handsome Masonic Temple Is to bo prected. When tho past century was younK, the Smith . building was rosarded as the skyscraper of Ral eigh, and on one occasion the legis lature met on the third floor of the building, which vas then the most spacious. hiilj In the city. So, within Lio walls of the old red brick build ing were nVade some of the laws of the state,' and it has a history other than having been occupied by various mercantile firms, as well as a bank ing Institution in recent yaers. .The building was,, erected about seventy-seven years ago by Benjamin B. ISmlthi and for a number of years he occupied. toe first floor, where was conducted a mercantile establishment. It is said that the building was com pleted about 1830, and It was during (he following year that the capitol was burned.' One session of the leg islature; wits held on the third floor of the building while the new capitol was .being erected.a Several ,., years TrttrjrlWs:bthe WMd!nf-ws1aWy1 damaged by fire, and again I in IS 51 It was damaged ; by a fire which de stroyed several buildings on Fayette- vlfle street.

The second floor was occupied for many years by the Raleigh Insurance Company; and for twenty years the Nichols & Gor man printing office was on tut third floor, but In recent years it has been used by a fraternal organization. To the older people of the clty .it Is with a feeling of regret that they' see the old landmarks disappear, but It, Is in the nature of things, the old must give way for the new, and the march of progress during the past few years has been especially great in the south, But a few more years and all of the old landmarks will have disappeared with perhaps aa exception or,, two on some obscure street where -old build ings will stand as mute reminders of the days of the long ago.
