L. B. HANNA,S HOMS.
A distinctive improvement on the
southside, at Ninth Street and Third
Avenue in the spacious grounds qf
the avenue, opposite the courthouse, is
the new and imposing residence of Hon.
L. B. Hanna, which is nearing comple
tion. The architecture, exterior and in
terior, is very pleasing and shows good
taste. The building is on the colonial
order with a classical treatment, and
while thus it is well adapted to west
ern uses.
The basement is solid brick faced with
a mottled pressed brick. A large Roman
chimney is constructed with pressed
brick. It will furnish accommodation
for two large fire places, one on each
story.
A specious veranda furnishes a beau
tiful finish to the front, besides all the
conveniences for which it can be used.
The portecochere, on the west side adds
dignity and furnishes a beautiful drive
way, and a convenient side entrance is
occasioned. A handsomely designed
rear porch covers the access tft^
kitchen.
In .an inviting interior will be found
vestibules, halls, reception room, large
center corridor which surrounded by. a
series of heavy oak columns furnish lit
tle less than a handsome rotunda, up
wards of eleven feet wide and twenty
feet long.
The library to the east, 17x23 feet,
is adorned with a handsome fire plaoe
and heavy beam ceiling paneled in quar
ter oak.
The dining room octagonal in shape
is uniquely arranged. Adjacent are
pantries, serving room and a large
kitchen. All are equipped with every
practical modern device.
In the second story are five large
chambers, each complete with lavatories
placed in recesses, two of the roonvs
equipped with special dressing apart
ments. The stair case, nine feet wide,
will when finished be a feature of beauty
and will add greatly to the interior e£
fects. An attic is finished and properly
arranged for such uses as may be
desired. .l(~
Two bath rooms and special toilet
ro6m, with tiled-floor and walls, wi}l
be equipped with the latest devices and
fittings. The building will* be lighted:
with electricity and gas, heated complete
with hot water with special provision fqr
indirect ventilation. The basement ha|s
been given most careful attention. It
will be finished and plastered, includ
ing the floor. There will be ample pro
vision for laundry, vegetable and fruit
cellars, children's play room, storagjb
and boiler rooms. There will be ei»•
trances front and back and a direct out
side entrance. In short it is a sensi
ble and well equipped family home and
one which will be a great addition to
Fargo's residence district and will be.
greatly admired. The site is really an
ultra ideal one and richly surrounded
with well developed foliage.

Although considerable progress hM
been made on the superstructure to this,

will figure in the southside residence

EEHE FARGO FORUM AND DAILY REPUBLICAN, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER |4 1901/' '*T tv
I
It is not surprising, when strangers
visit Fargo in the summer time, when
streets and avenues, so many of them,
with cathedral arches of stately trees
extravagantly rich with foliage, com
fortable homes by the hundred sur
rounded by velvety lawns, they should
pause and remark, "and this is Fargo."
And each year there is more occasion
for such a remark because of the mater
ial improvements which are continually
being made. The casual observer, in
fact there are some residents who would
be awed if they should be taken over the
city today and have pointed out to them
the number of new buildings of every
kind, which have been erected this year
—befo[c the season opened there were
pessimists who gave reasons why
there would be but little build
ing done in this city this year. They
seem to have been counting without
their host and there is good evidence
now as to the ridiculousness of their
predictions which have been proven to
have been decidedly off. It is almost
safe to estimate that the value of new
buildings in Fargo, this year will total
up to upwards of $500,000. A survey of
a number of them can be made... from
the following:
and the laying of big stretches of tile
sidewalks.
In numbers, perhaps the northside
has been more favored in the erection of fe
medium priced modern homes erceted
for the use of the owners themselves,
and for rent Among this class, in the
different parts of the city may be cited
homes for Dr. E. C. Wheeler, J. L.
Graver, Mrs. E. C. Greene, Mrs. John
Miller, W. H. Comrie, Mrs. John
Hodgson, H. F. Starr, T. M. Swem,
Contractor Powers, Mrs. J. F. Walker,
C. R. Stone, Congregational parson
age- J- J- Freeman, Colonel Mi&thews,.^
two at Eleventh Street and Fifth
Avenue, W. B. Howland, D. S. Lewis,
Stewart Wilson, C. W. Cross and M. J.
Cyrran.
There has also been considerable donei
in the way of substantial repairs and
additions to homes in all parts of the
city.
BUSINESS BUILDINGS.
Under this head the most prominent:
of the new structures, for commercial
purposes will naturally come that massive
pile, the Robb-Lawrence Building, ioox
140 feet, with a high basement and fourl'"
full stories, giving 70,000 square feet of
flour space, probably making it the largJ
est building in the state. It is called a
warehouse, but it would make a verys
creditable office building. There will?
be about fifteen offices housed in there'
and more will be added as the demand
requires. The building has been de
signed for a general transfer and stor-i
age business. There will be elegant dis-«i
play roofs for thev arious tenants.
Much of the west half will be occupied
by the wholesale hardware house of
the Hall-Robertson Co. This firm will
have modern elevators, with electric
motive power, for the use of occupants
The building will be lighted by electri
city and there are special provisions:
against fire. The adding of electric pas
senger elevators is under consideration.
Careful attention has been given to thev
making of this giant structure, which
is on one of the most prominent corners"
in the business district, pleasing and
convenient for occupants. The Robb
Lawrence Co. will occupy a handsome
suite of offices near the imposing arched
entrance on the Ns P. Avenue front
age.
Prominent improvements on Broadway,
were the erection of the Magill, Singer^
Hancock and Douglas Buildings. These
completed a continuous string on both
sides of this main business artery from
the N. P. crossing to Second Avenue
North. Then there is of course the Ed-'
wards Building which was destroyed by
fire the early part of the year and has
been completely rebuilt, much on the
same lines of the former building, bui
greatly improved in the way of en
trances and exits—more convenient and
roomy.
In the machinery district on N. P.
Avenue there should be mentioned the
erection of the Porritt Building, com
modious warerooms and offices for the
Huber Manufacturing Co., a similar
building for the Reeves thresher people,
an addition to the Knerr Block and two
immense warehouses for the J. I. Case
Co.—these are in addition to the hand
some brick and stone pile of offices and
warerooms completed for the company
the early part of the 3'ear.
In a miscellaneous way there should
be mentioned among this year's enter
prises the building for the offies, ex
change and plant for the Northwestern
Telephone Co., the Carnegie public li
brary building and annex to the Fargo
operahouse—the latter adding conveni
ences highly appreciated by the com
panies appearing there, besides a num
ber of residence apartments. On
upper Broadway there are several small
business blocks, new this year.
Improvements to public buildings
there must be mentioned the addition to
the Cass County courthouse. It is of
brick and stone and conforms to the
original structure. The new part pro
vides a courtroom for the state supreme
court, judges' chambers, law library and
lavatories, on the second floor. On the
first floor are new offices for the sheriff
and surveyor with vaults and the
changes have proveded for new vaults
and additional room for other county of
fices. On the third floor are new jury
rooms and one for the bailiff. A feature
of the jury romos are that they are so
arranged that a jury may pass from seats
in the district court room without com
ing in contact with the public in any
way whatever. This has long been
needed- and inconveniences to which
jurymen have been subjected have been
entirely done away with. In the base
ment are two detention wards for in
sane, one for men and one for women
and they communicate with the sheriff's
kitchen. Prisoners too can now be
taken to and from the courtroom without
going outside.
The N. P. freight sheds have been
greatly enlarged and early in the spring
the new Standard Oil Co. building, near
the G. N. freight house, offices and
plant complete and modern in very par
ticular were finished ready for occu
pancy, the office force moving in the early
part of last May. v
