BUSINESS DISTRICTENLARGES BOUNDARY

ALL NEW BUILDINGS BEYONDOLD LIMITS

Predictions Are That in Five YearsBusiness Center Will Be Near

Seventh Street andBroadway

It is a notable fact that there Isscarcely a building under constructionin the retail district between Templestreet on the north, Sixth street onthe south, Hill street on the west andMain street on the east. The only

improvement going on in the northpart is the posstofflce building. In thedistrict lying south of SixtH street anumber of fine buiUllngs are underconstruction; the Nelson Story build-Ing at Sixth and Broadway, ten stories;the George W. Walker Temple of Art,on Grand avenue near Seventh, sixstories; the Hamburger theater build-ing on Broadway, near Ninth street,eight stories; the Pacific Mutual In-surance building at Sixth and Olivestreets, five stories; the Cramptonbuilding on South Broadway, betweenSeventh and Eighth streets, fourstories; the M. A. Newmark building,on Spring street, south of Seventhstreet, four stories; the Robert Marshbuilding on Main street, near Eighth,two stories; the Fitz E. Beach build-ing at 50S-Ei9 South -ill street, threestories; and the one-story brick storebuildings for J. D. Hooker and Wil-liam Garland, the former at Ninthand Broadway, to contain ten storerooms, and the latter on the east sideof Broadway, Just north of Eighthstreet, with a frontage of 100 feet.There are also two brick garage bulld-lng« under construction in the samedistrict.

As an illustration of the trend ofthe business district toward the junc-

tion of Main and Tenth streets, theforegoing is sufficient to base a guessthat in five years the center of thebusiness district will be nearer Sev-enth and Broadway than at any otherpoint.
