It was originally ini ended to use marble for tho front elova* tions on Spring and Washington streets. This idea* however, had to be abandoned, from tha fact that the material could not be prepared in time for the construction* A. very fine quality of sand stone which yields readily to the saw and Is supposed to exist In large quantities about a mile south of this city, was next examined. The color and quality of the stone was pronounced excellent, but upon farther investigation, it was discovered that the out-cropping strata would not famish blocks of sufficient sire for the purpose, and it would reqaire too long a time to develop the quarry. The directors, therefore, fell back on the Cleveland cream colored sandBtone, which has been thoroughly tested, and is in every sense a reliable, datable and fine appearing material, but whioh is a little more expensive than the other two. Tha building, as it stands, fronts oa Spring street 37 feet and on Wa*bicgtoiL Btreet 39 feet 6 Inches, and is two stories in height. In the new plana these floors will remain the same height, sad two other floors, one 13 feet and the other 13 feet in height, will be built over them.

Th* cornice will be of galvanized iron, and tho deck of the roof will be laid with tho beet tin roofing, painted with “iroa-olad5 paint. The ohimneya will be of cut stone, with heavy molded capa. The entire exterior of the building will present a finished appearance, fully up to the popular idea* of the beat modern archi tee taro, and the finest French plato glass will farther give effect to the windows, the frames of whioh will bo deeply set iu tho masonry. The basement will be dividod off into a front office on Spring atroofc, and the rear wilt be devoted to tho heating furnace, eoal bunks, waeh-rooms and wtiter eloacts. The B^nk proper will occupy tho whole ol tho first floor. The ceiling and walls will be pan-aelied instucc,tand also frescoed with subdued color*, expropriate figuring, and ar-tiBtio design*.
