Mr. Conway has commenced the foundation of a two-story brick building on the corner of Texas street and the levee. Mr. Dew L. Tally has also laid the foundation of a two-story brick building which will front on Spring and Milam streets, with iron fronts. Messrs. Hope & Allen will erect a three-story brick building adjoining the Brooks House. Mr. R. Patterson will erect a large two-story brick building on Edwards between Texas and Milam streets. The Presbyterian society will erect an edifice on the corner of Edwards and Travis streets, which will cost $12,000 or $14,000.
