Architect, G. Lloyd Preacher.
Above are the announcements for
one day for permanent improvements
in August.- secured from the office 'if
Architect O. Lloyd Preacher. While
it would seem that these would be a
sufficiency for a time, still there are
other things in contemplation formal
announcements of which will be made
later.
Mr. Preacher, who is the associate
architect with Mr W. L. Stoddart for
the Empire Life's 17 story building,
and the Chronicle’s 10 story building,
and who designed the Hotel Ada, also
in course of construction, the St. Jos
eph School now about complete, and
the magnificent new city hospitals,
says that Augusta's building era is
just getting a good start.
It was thought when plans were an
nounced for two skyscrapers that they
would be all the office buildings to be
constructed In a number of years.
However, even before these two
buildings have been completed to tb?
first floor, Mr. Preacher is drawing
plans for another one. No other, data
is forthcoming on the third skyscraper
but the Information is authentic that it
will be built and work will probably
start in the not far distant future.
On the southeast corner of Thir
teenth and Broad Mrs. Morgan will
build, after plans by Mr. Preacher, a
three story brick building, with stores
underneath and apartments above.
This building will face 45 feet on
Broad and extend back 90 feet along
Thirteenth. In order to construct this
building Mrs. Morgan will have to tear
down her present residence.
On Thirteenth .street, just in the
rear of the store and apartment build
ing, Mrs. Morgan will erect a three
story office and apartment building,
facing 58 feet on Thirteenth. There

of Mrs. George S. Lombard, will erect
a two story brick home on McDowell

liked the climate so much that he pur
chased a lot and decided to build at
once.
The improvements mentioned, with
the exception of the office building,
amount to In the „ neighborhood of
SIOO,OOO, while the skyscraper will cost,
in all probability, between $250,000 and
$500,000.
With work on the Empire progress
ing well and the first story of the stell
already in place, with the Chronicle’s
steel beginning to be put in place and
with progress being made on the Hotel
