We understand that the contract for putting up the bank building of Messrs KOCH Bros. of this place has been let to Mr. Cornelius PERROTT who will commence the work as soon as the weather will permit. The building will be
22x50 feet in size, 23 feet high with a fine brick front, with rustic cut stone dressing and a cornice of galvanized iron over hte top about four feet in height. This will without doubt be the finest building as far as workmanship and
elegance of design is concerned, in the city, and will be a lasting ornament to the town.
