Show An Old Building Doomed. Many interesting memories cluster about the buildings known as the Hygienic Hy-gienic hotel, at 13 and 15 Laight street, Now York city, now doomed to be torn down to give place to an immense woolen warehouse. Tho buildings were originally origi-nally erected for residences for the families fami-lies of George Schuyler and a son of Alexander Hamilton and Col. Thome, in what was then tho fashiunablo quar tor of the city about sweaty years ago, in the vicinity of St. John's pork. The carriage houses of tho high toned old families stood until recently on tho back of the property. The queer old stone trimmings of the windows and doorways, ' and its mahogany folding doors, its elaborate elab-orate white marblo jambs and the generously gen-erously large rooms, were reminders of the time wiien land was much less valuable val-uable than it is now, when flats were unknown aad tho hum of business had , not reached as far up town as Canal street. Now York Sun. |
