. . v. . 7 9 ' TIIE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, OCTOBER 3, 1909. ' -.The AUTISTIC DWELLING- WILL BE BUILT ON LOVEJOY STEEET. Hawthorne Park and Third Presbyterian Need Room. EACH OUTGROWS BUILDING nimnniirn aniir n ii 1 1 UHUHbMLb iVJAr J U 1 1 J Proposition for Two Parishes to Unite and Build Edifice Large Enough for Both in Central East Portland Considered. In connection -with the progress of the Hawthorne Park and Third Presbyterian Churches, within the next two years it is predicted both must seek new locations and rebuild on larger lines, or the two churches must come together and erect a modern 1100,000 edifice that will be the leading Presbyterian Church on the East Side. When the Hawthorne-Park Presby terian Church was erected, on East Twelfth and East Taylor streets, it was part of the Cumberland Presbyterian branch, which was merged Into the Presbyterian Church. The growth of this church in membership has been re markable. Every Sunday, and especial ly Sunday night, the auditorium is packed to its utmost capacity, and can hardly accommodate the congregations. This is more noticeatble at present than ever before. . Rev. E. Nelson Allen, the pastor, who recently returned from his trip to the Holy Land, delivers lectures Sunday night which draw large congregations, but the normal congregations and mem- bershlp already tax the capacity of the church.- More room is needed, aad pro vision will be made for the worship ers In the basement. It is felt, how ever, that the time is near at hand when Hawthorne-Park Presbyterian Church must find another location a little farther out and to the south of the present zone, showing tremendous residence growth there. Dr. . Allen said last week it looked now as if some movement would have to be made soon, if the present prosperity of the church continues, and there is every reason to believe it will. Since Dr. Allen has .been pastor, the membership has more than doubled, and new members are coming in almost at every Sunday serv ice. The Third Presbyterian Church, the pioneer Presbyterian Church on the East Side, now more than 25 years old, also aspires to be the leadiny Pres byterian Church in Central East Port-' land. On the present location it has atood a little over seven years. Under the leadership of Rev. Andrew J. Mont gomery it has made excellent progress and is considered one of the strongest churches in the presbytery. Conditions are changing rapidly all around this church. The homes of the people are rapidly being replaced by flats, apartments and business houses, and the homebulldlng area is being crowded farther eastward. It is con sidered a mere question of time when it will be forced to move back to reach the homebuilders and get out of the section' that will be devoted to apart ment and business houses. The consolidation of the two churches is perhaps a remote consummation, but the matter has been considered, al though not officially. However, those who have studied the question express the opinion that the two churches could consolidate and erect at some central point in East Portland a stone building that would cost about (100.000, ' and which would seat a congregation of 2000 or 8000 people. Changing condi tions between the Willamette Rivir and East Twentieth street point to this, but it may not come, and the two churches may rebuild Independently of each oth er on new locations farther back In the residence area. CONTRACTS ARE GIVEN ST. JOSEPH'S HOSPITAL AT VAX- COUVER, FIXE BUILDING. Work Has Xovr Started, and $150,. 000 Structure Will Be Sanitary and Modern In Detail. The general contract for erecting the brick, stone and concrete hospital build ing for the Vancouver Branch of the Sisters of Charity of the House of Provi dence was awarded this week to Moore A Hardin, general contractors of Van couver, who will commence work on the structure at once. The bid of Moore & Hardin was 1111,000 and the contract calls for the work to be completed In 200 work ing days. The contract price does not ' Include the elevators, heating, wiring or plumbing, which will bring the total cost to 150.W. The new hospital building was designed and planned by Architect Berndt & Tesen and the point kept In view was to afford the patients and other occupants all the light, sunshine, ventilation and other conveniences possible. The design is essentially dignified and sturdy and is founded somewhat upon the modern Eng , llsh work. In the competition for the selection of the architects the award to Berndt A Tegen was made on a basis of superiority of design. The plan was studied by the architects In the light of the defects in older hospital buildings and the experience and needs of' the chiefs of the various departmenta were given primary consideration. A special feature of the plan is that every bedroom and ward, together with all the other sleeping rooms, will receive direct sunshine some part of the day. The building has a frontage of 160 feet, with a width of 4S feet and a central wing projecting 72x35 feet. It contains DO.uOO cubic feet of space and will cost approximately 1150.000. The lowest floor is on the finish-grade level, while the highest point on the roof is .72 feet above this point. Concrete Is used for all the work below the grade line, while the lavatory, kitchen and solarll floors will be of re inforced concrete. The walls are built principally of vitrified brick in different shades of browns and reds, while large use Is also made of cut stone. All the band courses, plinths, sills and main en trance doorway are of cut stone. The main entablature will also be of . cut stone. The interior will practically be free from wooden trim, all door, window and other openings being . finished in hard cement plaster. The doors leading to all rooms, wards, etc, are veneered and free from panels. There will be electric light , lng throughout the building and the plans Include the installing of a high pressure steam system with underground tunnels, so as to heat not only the new hospital but the old hospital, the Old People's Home, the Academy and the Catholic Cathedral. i - J1 4j'"4 lu ilk' vK.-i, C.v, Charles H.
