THE OMAHA DAILY BER: SUNDAY, JUNE 17, 1888,--S IXTEEN PAGES. LOCATED IN The New Home of the Merchants' Na- tional Bank a Palace, The Merchants’ National bank oeccu- pies to-day the finest building in the city. The c orpor tion was organized in October, 1882, with the following vore: Frank Murphy, prosident; uel .].mu rs, viee president: Wood, hier, and Lutheér §iatant coshier, Theso officors, with John F. Cond, €. C. Housel and George ‘W. Doan onstituted the board of di- rectors. This same corps of officers and directors are its officers and directors to-day. When the bank was organized the capital stock was fixed at $100,000, but owing toa constant- and rapid in- crease-in the growth of the city and the banking pusiness of the city and county it has been deemed advisable by the directors to increase the capital stock of the institution until now it stands in the front rank s one of the three banks of the state, having a paid-up capital of #500,000 and places it on an equal foot- ing with the oldest bank in the city. During the five years and a half the bank has been doing busincss it has accumulated a surplus of 100,000 which is held in addition to the paid-up capital of £00,000. When the bank was first orgadized it was located in the building on the northwestern corner of Farnam and Thirteenth streets. About two years a{nnhcvnmc apparent to the directors of the institution thay their apartments were not large enough in whichtocarry on their alrcady large and growing business, and they began to drrange for the erection of their present new and elegant building which is now vir- tually completed and was occupied by the banking institution last Monday for the first time. The new building is situated on the northeast corner of Farnam and Th teenth streets, Tt was begun in April, 1886, and at present every floor in it is occupied. It is seven stories high and is built of Massachusetts brown stone, 8t. Louis pressed brick and ivon. Itds, ‘with one exception, the highest build- ingin the city. The basement story is %rown stone, and 18 oceupied by the Missourt Dacifio railway company and company. The' remaining six are ' of pr brick brown stone trimmings. The are solid masonry and do not contain a single stick of timber. The floors are laid on iron frames three feet apart and a foot thick, between which are laid fireproof tileafoot thick, in flat arch position. The floors are perfectly solid and dead and are insured and have heen tested to support 2,500 runmls to the square foot, thus render- them strong enough 0 have vaults on any floor. The main entrance to the building is on Farnam street, and the banking floor and elevator is reached by a broad stone and marble stai 1ch leads to a wide, spacious hall. This hall is fin- ished in elegantly carved and designed antique _ouk. At the left of the main entrance is the en- trance to the banking room. This room is finished in cherry and all the furniture in the room is of the same material. In the south end of the room are the private offices of the president and director Next to these ave the desks of the cashier and his stant. Tlien comes the enclosed compartments of the paying teller, the two rec tellers, the discount and collection clerks and bookkeepe: These com- pm-tmnuh are large and opposite to h is a window which affords the best l:a sible light for the cl and book - ucmrqmdonu-n work by. Inthenorth side of the bookkeeping apartments are the three vaults, two of which are for the books. The money vault isseven feet high and 6x7 feet at the base. The bottom is of solid masonry. The walls are of railroad iron and brick, welded together and lined with steel three inches in thickne: The vault doors are of unusual weight and thick- ness and are made of alternate layers of steet and iron, put together in a su- perior manner and are secured by the Sargent lock. The safes vaults at the vork: of, Gus Andreen, of this ci of theso rooms ave toilet, lunch for the use of the bank. The third and fourth stories of the building are occup the offices of the Chicago & No tern Railway company and have been specially fitted up for them. The remaining stories of the building are almost enti oceu- ied by corporations of some kind, and t seems now as though the entirve build- ing would bg given up to corporation headquarters. Al the rooms in the building are finished in hardwood and with the latest system of steam heating, water service and gas and electric lights, The entire buildjng is coustructed regard- less of cost and for the convenience of those who may occupy it. Already siy sevenths of the rooms in the building are occupied or rented, and some of the remaining ones have been spoken for, The building is a credit to the city and is nlso a monument of the growth and development of the business of the banking institution that built and own it.
