Show H ON THE RUINS OF THE OLD. H Chief Canficld of the fire department and City Engineer "Wm. H Bostaph, after a careful examination of the walls of the Eccles Hl building, left as a skeleton of the once beautiful structure, have de- H cided that the brick walls on the south and west sides must come H do-wn immediately to avoid the danger of a suddon fall, and that H even the stone walls facing Twenty-fourth street and Washington H avenue must be rebuilt from the ground up, if made a. part of any H future plans of reconstruction. This means the razing of the en- H tire structure as it now stands. H "With the ground cleared, the o.vrier, David Eccles, will have an Hl opportunity of erecting a modern office building, even a sky- H scraper. The corner occupied by the destroyed building is to H business center of the city and a structure, even larger than the H burned building, should prove a paying investment. H j The new building should be an ornament to Ogden, fire proof H and up-to-date. |
