the center of the street, looking up and 

 down, you are at once attracted by its 

 height and by its massive granite front. 

 The Henry F. Michell Co., as Review 

 readers know, have purchased Tower 

 Hall, and are rapidly remodeling it with 



the intention of moving a part of their 

 business into the new building as soon 

 as practicable. Through the courtesy of 

 Frederick J. Michell, Jr., I am able to 

 give those interested an idea of this new 

 seed salesroom and warehouse. The front 



has been entirely remodeled, the entrance 

 being moved from the side to the cen- 

 ter, and a handsome show window placed 

 on either side. These show windows may 

 be best described by saying that they 

 closely resemble the front of the present 

 Michell building at 1018 Market street. 

 Even the tiled flooring between the win- 

 dows, with the word Michell worked in 

 mosaic thereon suggests the uptown es- 

 tablishment. 



The new building has a frontage on 

 Market street of twenty-three feet, ig 

 180 feet deep, stretching back to Lud- 

 low street, where the frontage is forty- 

 seven feet. This wider frontage on Lud- 

 low street is produced by a sort of dou- 

 ble store, the Market street width being 

 doubled when halfway back to the Lud- 

 low street entrance, making an ell-shaped 

 floor space. Just inside the front door 

 is a passenger elevator running from 

 the basement up to the fifth floor. In 

 the rear, on Ludlow street, is a freight 

 elevator covering the same distance, and 

 a second freight elevator, intended for 

 lowering and raising heavy weights from 

 the first floor to the basement and re- 

 turn. There is also a basement chute 

 for sacks. The building will be lighted 

 throughout by a combination of elec- 

 tricity and gas. Electricity is preferred 

 as a better light and more economical, 

 but in the event of any interruption in 

 the electric current, it is deemed wise to 

 have gas as a substitute. The basement 

 will be devoted entirely to storing fer- 

 tilizers and all heavy material. In fact, 

 it is hardly fair to speak in the future 

 tense, for it is already being utilized as 

 a store room. The first floor will have
