FIRST BRICK LAID!
This Morning Saw the First Brick Laid on the School House.
The Old Town Gets Another Substantial Boost.
SPRING WILL SEE ITS COMPLETION
People Who Come and Go—Brief Brevities of Interest to All Readers of The Globe.
The first brick for the Durham graded school building was laid today. This is news when it is news, and good news to every man, woman and child living in this city or interested, however remotely, in its future.
Architect Leary has drawn plans for a handsome and at the same time neat and substantial structure, the building being fashioned after the most improved plans of modern school buildings, the arrangements for lighting, heating and ventilation being such as to insure the health and comfort of pupils, and in every way facilitate the young idea which has, during the past two years, done its shooting in this city under such adverse conditions.
Builder Christian, who was interviewed by The Globe this morning, says that he cannot at this time name any early date for its completion, the progress of the work depending of course upon the weather. If the winter is mild it will be pushed right through, otherwise it will be delayed until spring. But one thing is certain. The Durham graded school will never have to open again in the old shell it now occupies.
And this is good enough.
