Bausch & Lomb's New Buildings. — The largest of the 

 new buildings will be 1S5 feet on the Vincent place, or south 

 side, 80 feet on the east, 53 feet on the west, and 162 feet on the 

 north, and will be five stories in height, including the basement. 

 Between this and the present buildings, and coming a little in 

 front of them, will be a handsome new engine-house 64 feet by 

 40 feet and 32 in height, with a very wide, massive stone entrance 

 in front and a trussed glass roof. Immediately back of the engine- 

 house is the boiler room, 40 feet by 60 feet, with room for four 

 boilers, coal bunkers, etc., and back of this again will rise the 

 large new chimney 130 feet in height. Over the rear part of the 

 engine-room will be built a four-story connection between the 

 old and new factories, 33 feet by 40 feet in size, and of a design 

 to harmonize and unite the different styles of buildings. The 

 engine-room will contain a fine new Harris-Corliss engine of 400- 

 horse power, built especially for the Company, and through the 

 room, and half way to the ceiling, will be a passage or walk 

 where visitors in passing through to the new factory may see the 

 working of the engine from above. 



The new factory will contain a large elevator and two fire- 

 proof stairways entirely separated from the floors by thick brick 

 walls. The heating will be done by a large blower forcing fresh 

 warm air into each story, and the most improved methods of 

 ventilation will be employed, entirely independent of the win- 

 dows. Every room will be equipped with automatic sprinklers, 

 and the plumbing will be of the best appliances. The buildings 

 will be lighted by electricity from the Company's plant of two 

 4C)0-light Edison dynamos, the power of which is given by a 

 separate loo-horse power engine. 



The cost of the works which are now being constructed will be 

 about $50,000.
