17 Stories Steel For Empire
By May 15th, Says Stoddart
Associate Architect of Mr. G. Lloyd Preacher in City Yester
day—Declares Absurd the Report That the Empire Will
Be Transformed Into a Hotel—Work Progressing Rapidly,
He Says.
Mr. W. L. Stoddard, of New York,
who, with Mr. G. Lloyd Preacher, of
Augusta, Is associate architect for the
Empire Life Insurance Company’s 17
story office building and also the
Chronicle's 10 story building, was tn
the city yesterday. It was his first
visit to Augusta since the erection of
steel on the two buildings began.
Mr. Stoddart declared that both
buildings were progressing splendidly.
He said that the 15th of May the
Empire's steel work would be complet
ed to the top of the tower, a height of
X 7 stories from the basement. The
main part of the building will be 12
stories, including the basement, while
the tower will go up four stories ad
ditional.
Asked about the report that the Em
pire building might be converted into
a hotel, Mr. Stoddart said that the
ides was absurd.
"The plans were drawn for an office
building and it would be utterly im
practicable and almost impossible to
transform it Into hotel," said Mr. Stod
dart, "and, besides, it would never pay
as a hotel."
The plan to convert one of Augusta's
office buildings into a hotel originated
in the mind of a promlneift citizen
who thought that inasmuch as Augus
ta needed a hotel badly and was to
have two office buildings that the
Chronicle building might lie converted
into a hotel. This was found to be im
practicable and then talk drifted to
the Empire. It can be stated with ab
solute assurance that neither building
will tie transformed into a hotel.
The Empire will complete the tenth
story during this week. The brick,
terracotta work, flooring and other
work is progressing splendidly. By
Tuesday night the entire first floor of
brick will be complete.
