New Dormitory.

The dormitory that is now being erected on the corner of Harvard and Ware streets, by Lynn B. Porter, more widely known as Albert Ross the novelist, will be one of the most complete in its finish now occupied by college students. The design is Italian renaissance, the exterior being of Scotch brick combined with red brick, trimmed with Indiana limestone and New York bluestone. There will be six stories and a basement.

The interior finish will be quartered oak, the main corridor paved with marble, and the front and rear staircases handsomely panelled. Six entrances are provided from the streets and courtyard. A passenger elevator, the only one in a college building, will make the upper floors most desirable, commanding, as they do, a view for many miles. There are in the building fifty-five studies, most of them with swell windows, fifty-five bathrooms in the finest open plumbing, ninety-four bedrooms, two shower-bathrooms, and a general room containing 2000 square feet of space. All studies have open fireplaces and radiators. Electric lights to the number of 580 will be furnished. The building faces east and is exposed to the sun the entire day. The contract calls for the building's completion on July 1, 1894.
