Work was begun this morn by contractor Dick 'L’readaway on the tearing away of the old Odd Fellows Building, corner of Broad street and Fourth Avenue. The removal of this building, is caused by the City Council, that august body having baditinspet ed and finding it to be in a dan gerous condition, have ordered its Immediate removal. The building is one of the old est brick business houses in Rome and at the time of its completion was one of the finest business bouses in the state. Dr. P. L. Turnley, the veteran druggist, tells me that the build ing was erected in 1853 by Colonel M iley C. Denson, an uncle of Con gressman Denson of tin* Seventh Ala., congressional district. He says that when it was built that the Rome Lodge of Odd Fel lows, No. 40, bought the third sto ry from Col. Denson and paid him SI,BOO lor it and that for many years the Rome Lodge flourished in its then elegant home. Here Dr. 1 urnley branched out and remarked, “I came here in 53 and helped the Lodge pay for the hall. In those days Masonry wasn’t knee high to Odd fellow ship in Rome.” “I remember mighty well, there was Dr. 11. V. M. Miller, now of Atlanta and Bill Arp now of Car tersville. “And Col. D. s e Printup, long since gone to his reward; and there was J. W- M. Berryrian, father of Mis, \\ iiitmore aud Mrs, ChiJsey.who Has also joined the gjeat Encamp ment. ‘Aud there was J, E, Veal and Oliver Sth well and R, T. Hurgmve, alj charter members of old ‘No. 40,’ and we had the finest work in the state. ‘¥es, utd there was Ca.pt, Efly, the Ne w Yorker who came down here’and built the first steamboat that was ev er put on our rivers, and lots of oth ers whose names I can t recall just now, I don t remember who the fire t firm that did business in the corner store, but I know that Wood & Veal occupied the next store room with a big stock of jewelery. In talking with Capt. Ji ra T om Moore, the city water collector, he remarked that he remembered the day when the old building stood in its majesty and glory very well. Said he: “Quite a number of young men had rooms in the se cond story; one of these was J, E. Bearden, now of California.” “Another was S. J. Hall,as brave a man as ever drew a sword or fired a musket. Capt. Hall fell white eadiug the Rome Light Guards in a charge at Knoxville. ” “Another tenant was Ford Hudgins, long since dead—while one of his neighbors was Henry Gartrell, afterward mayor of Rome lawyer and legislator.” “Then I remember IV. R. Hendrix, better known as Bill Algernon Hamilton and- yes "hose were the days before Photography and there was a deguerotype gallery on that same second flaor. ’ Many others of the cld timers pause as they pass the work of raising the cld landmark and.many is the inter esting remark or bit of historic fact that may be picked up by a rep< r - er ’ “Kash.”
