The Barker Brothers will Build Fifteenth and Farnam, The Barker brothers have decided to rebuild on the site of their destroyed building corner of Fifteenth and Farnam strects. The new building will be of brick, stone and iron, and as fireproof as it is possible to make it. Exteriorly it will differ considerably from the one burned. on It will be six stories high. On Farnam street front will be a broad cast iron bay- window whicn will run up to the fifth story. On the eust side there will be two of these, the effect of which will be to in- croase the beauty of the whole design which contemplates a_building perhaps »st beautiful in the city. The tower abandoned and in its stead will be utiful and practical ornamen- tation. The plans have been m: by Mendelssohn & Lawrie, who have sug- gested bay-windows and anothi tory for the old Barker building, both of which will be added immediately. The building will have a _hizh basement, and drst floor will be designed for a bank, and it is thought will be picd by the Bank of Commerce, which Yl by made o national bank with n Intgo capital.
