Improvements to Extent of *20,000
Now Under Way In Hotol;
Elevator Installed.
Building activity in the city is
on the increase and a large number
of improvements have been started
<luring the first two months of
1925. This work includes the con- •
struction of a number of resi­
dence buildings and improvements
now going on in a number of busi­
ness houses as well as several new
structures planned for the near
future.
Ono of the largest undertakings
so far is the improvements of the
Bartell hotel now under way by
W. B. Cooper, of Eugene, owner
of the building, It is estimated
that this work will cost in tho
neighborhood of $20,000 before it
is completed.
The improvements being made
in this buildipg include a $4,500
electric automatic elevator, a mez­
zanine in rear of the lobby to be
used as a writing room, the re­
arranging of the office and din­
ing room, cold storage facilities
for the kitchen, the construction
of a water proof basement and new
store rooms and sample rooms.
Rooms on the second and third
floor are being torn out and made
into outside rooms with a number
of extra bath rooms addod. This
will givo the hotel 56 rooms, 26
of which will connect private baths.
New furniture is included in the
improvement program.
The improvement of tho Bartell
hotel is being carried on as part
of general improvement work car­
ried on at the Central hotel and
the Central hotol annex.
These
are all under the same manage­
ment,
When thia work is com­
pleted there will be a total of 76
rooms completely refurnished and
improved for the use of travelers.
The interior of tho Bartell hotel
is being redecorated and tho ex­
terior improved in a similar man-
ner. Tho plasterers are expected
to finish this week and plumbing
and decorating will start next
week. It will take about five
weeks longer to corpplete the work.
Plans are to have the elevator in
operation within the next two
weeks.
Other improvement work is going
on in the Bank of Cottage Grove
building where the White Phar­
macy, Trask’s Cash Grocery, and
the Bank of Cottage Grovo will
have improved quarters. The J. C.
Breier company will occupy new
quarters in the near future.
Industrial building shows signs of
unusual activity. H. L. Godard is
constructing a lumber warehouse on
north Lane streot and has a num­
ber of other projects planned which
will be started in the near future.
The ten miles of railway to the
