New Shops.
The new shops built for Mr. Frape, in
Victoria-street, are now ready for opening.
One is 25ft by 20ft and the other 26ft by
16ft. They are adorned by plate glass windows
castf in with cathedral glass, which
has a very pleasing effect, One great
feature we noticed is the construction of the
girders, which are so designed to do away
with the usual columns inthe'window, which
will help greatly in displaying the goods and
also save the time and temper of the fortunate
occupant, The shops are 13ft high and
each has a good sized office at the rear of the
premises. The buildings are of modern design
with Orange bricks and oement dressing.
The bricks were supplied by Mr. Lees,
who is now starting a brickyard at Millthorpe.
The colors are finished in ereen
and white, great taste has been shown in the
painting, and the whole place had a light and
attractive appearanco, The work reflects
the greatest credit on the architect, Mr. W.
Banks, and the contractor, Mr. J. Wells,
junr., of Millthorpe, and ought to bo >
Splendid advertisement for them, One shop
is already let and there have been numerous
enquiries for the other, but the owner will
only let them for suitable businesses in
which a good display can be made.
