Show APPROACHING COMPLETION. The outside work on the Temple is rapidly approaching completion. The masons have only to finish the mason work on the east turret, when stone laying will be done. The work of pointing up the outside of the walls is in progress, and proceeds from the top downward. As fast as the walls are pointed a coat of paint, having a faint, pinkish tint, is being applied. The west turret and the battlements on both sides of the building have already been painted. The effect of the tint at a distance is chaste and beautiful in the extreme. Inside, the work of finishing progresses rapidly and is so far complete as to give the visitor a good idea of what the appearance of the various apartments will be when the work of finishing is completed. |
