THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY JULY 29, 1888.~TWELV L ] E PAGES S —————————————————————————————————————— s e ——— - A DREAM OF MARBLE HALLS. \ \ . THE - copper A Lasting Monument to Public Spirited Bankers of Omaha. FIRST NATIONAL BANK, ~ A Description of the Building and Its i Occupants—One of the Finest Banking Rooms in the United States, The Bullding. The dream of marble halls is materi- alized in the magnificent structure of the First National. It is a superb mon- ument to the public-spirited munificence of the stockholders, the skill of the architects and the permanent greatness of the city. From the sub-basement " with its engines, dynamo and vaults to the elaborate copper cornice each and every detail is perfect in its wn The Interior finish is on a scale of magnifi- eence which Omaha at least has never seen approached, though her costly and beautiful structures . are by no means insignificant. From the street the building is not particu- larly remarkable for architectural de oration or ornament. It is massive and stately, as befits a bank construeted at Maine granite, Chicago pressed brick and terra cottu. surmounted by a deep rnice, and impresses one chiefly with its proportions and stabil- fty. From Farnam street the visitor enters through a massive granite arch and bronzed iron gate into the stately vestibule. The walls and lofty ceiling . are of pure white Italian marble; . broad white marble steps lead to the counting-room above. Beautiful electro-plated “bronze rails guard the & stairs and the entrance to the elevator, It is & magnificent conception, combin- Ing richness of material and beauty of design. Up a short fight of steps w reach the banking room, and see u g ten of white marble, polished brass, crystal and mahogany. It is 60x70 feet In'size. Richly decorated bronz illars support a ceiling twenty: fil h., The floors are of white ma and all the wainscoting and fixtures are of Manilla mahogany modeled after special designs. The wainscoting is ® geven feet in height, richly paneled and the and carved rong dado for surface, which forming a general wall is painted to harmonize with the rest of the room. Eleotric signals connect all the desks ot the clerks, and speaking tubes pass hither and thither. Through the n nificent plate glass windows currents of fresh air circulate freely, and floods of light illuminate every nook and corner the room. The tire building at night is lighted by myriads of incan- deseent electric lights by a_dynamo owned by the bank. Opening into this main room are directors’ offices and parlors, patrons’ par- lors, a stationery repository, a mail- ® Ing room, lunch rooms and the magnifi- * cent vault. In this the bank boasts the finest piece of burglar-proof work in the west, and the crowds which thronged the building during the reception last week seemed to never tire of inspecting Ats wonders. It is enclosed in fire-proof ~ walls, forty-two inches thick. T'he cash " vault is absolutely impregnable. The ' doors and locks are all of the latest pat- * terns, and are miracles of ingenuity #and workmanship. This vault consists of nine compartments, enclosing the cash safe in the centre,and is eight feet uare. . There are two book and record vaults - whose dimensione are 8x8x16 and 8x8x26, ! both guarded by the same system of burglar proof locks and doors. The ment contains the safety vaults, lunch room, cloak rooms and other con- eniences. The four stories above, reached by two handsome elevators, are in perfect harmony with the banking room below. . The offices are furnished in oak, and are perfectly lighted and ventilated. i The four long corridors have floor wainscoting and door casing of marble. The toilet convenieces of banking rooms and ‘Dffices are furnished in marble and sup- plied with every sanitary appliance. “All the water coming into the building d through improved filters, Every .Eoor?ipens on_massive hinges and is ed with a Yale key Ths entire building "is fire-uroof, the { floor being constructed of iron beams "And tile arches, and the partitions of ‘hard terra cotta blocks. . Itisof course impossible to give in etail any adequate description of the auties of the buildiug, butto some ders the cost, $300,000, may convey idea. o the architects, as well to the various firms, most f them of Owaha, who did he work of the various departments of he structure, the greatest creditis due. The architects, Mendelssohn, Fisher Lawrie, have added another polished one to their monument of fame by the tistic manner in which they have eted the First Nutional bank " building. These gentlemen have the est business in this western coun- ry, they having designed and erected ‘under their supervision nearly all of the ‘best buildings in Omaba. "This fact - will be veadily apparent when it is stated that this firm has designed and ‘superintended the erection of the fol- lowing: Tho beautiful ivon und brick | Barker building, southwest corner of nam and Fifteenth stroets; the great n building of brick. terra cotta nd granite, on the northeast corner of rnam and Sixteouth streets; the pa- tial Ramge block, on the southsast orner of Harney and Fifteenth streets; he beautiful residence of W. J. Con- ell, southeast corner of St. Mary’s av nue and Twenty-second street; the im- osing brick and terra cotta church of rst Congregation corner Nineteenth and Davenport streets; eommodious and enduring wholesale \Idl-i and warehouse of ) Co., Leavenw h strects; the benutiful and at- iebive Millard hotel, northeast corner of Douglas and Thirteenth streets; the mmodious and commercial-like home board of trade, southwest corner 3 am and Sixteenth streets; the -fimflccntnnd notable warchouse I the Moline, Milburn & Stoddard com- on Puacific street, immediately of the Union Pacific depot; the retty brick church of St. Peter’s stholic parish, on Leavenworth steeet, pear Phil Shoridan aveuue; tho com- us nnd unigue Hotel Barker, on heast corner of Jones and Thir- streets; the exteusive and imn- convent of the Sucred Heart, in 4 the mammoth warchouse of © Smith, Hurney and Twelfth and the cnpacious huilding of American Bag company, on gorner of Jackson wund Eleventh besides numerous other build- whose arcitectural beauty will +* Iasting monument to ~Men- obn, Fisher and Lawrie, who are 1 vals and that thoy are cred- with, by far, the largest, heaviest N architectural structures, not p in Omaha, but slso in the state 2 ous result is the reward of ;‘_‘ nine yowrs of unremittin, pheavuienal satwfuction an 60 & B outh |y success. The secret of this grand re- sult lies in the fact that the firm has employed and still employs only the best draughtemen and superintendents 10 work out and put in shape the ideas of the master minds of the pri The fire and burglar-proof vaults and safes in the First National bank build- ing were furnished by P. Boyer & Co. agents for the Hall Sufe and Lock com- pany. These safes are world renowned and are in use by nearly every business man in the countr In the build- ing there ave twenty-seven fire- proof vaults, The burglar-proof denosit vault contains 1,000 boxes and the burglar proof cast vaultin the bank- ing room contains nine burglar proof safes. All the safes in the building have the advantage of all the latest 1m- srovements and patents secured by the Hall Safe and Lock company. An idea of the size of the safe the First National will be gained when it is stated that the combined weight of the steel and iron in the vaults and safes aggregate over 200,000 pounds. Some of the designs are the most beautitul work ever done on safes, Messrs. B r & Co., feel highly gratified at securing the wor after such hard competition as they _were subjected to. Mr. Herman Kountz spent the greater part of six months investigating the different makes and prices from the jous safe manufac- tories of the country, but afte reful consideration he finally awarded the contract to t afe and Lock Co., who have 0 him no reason for regr P. Boyer & Co., make their headquarters 1018 Farnam street, where they have on e Libition samples of I the safes manu- factured by Hall's fe and Lock Co. The Omaha house will furnish estimates arge or small, vaults, time 1 work, and do their work in v best workmanship manner. So L st National shall stan h will be fore . unless delibe v torn down, Hall’s safes, which have been placed therein, will always be found to do their proper work All the plumbing in the tional bank building was done well-known plumber and sanitary en- mneer, Willinm H. Spelman, whos store and work shops areat 1212 Douglas street, in the Millard hotel block. Like other contractors who received awards in the First National, Mr. Sp> man had to compete with the best con- cerns in the country and came off v terious. The bank people feel highly elated over the plumbing, and those who know say it is the best job of plumbing in the United States and as much nsanything else to the be of the structure. Mr. Spelman i: very best of sanitary engineers in the United States and can teach all of them points in regard to the business. He was for a long time 0= cinted with the best enginee of the country in New York and Bos- ton and is the recognized leader of his rofession. Among the many buildings n which his work can be seen are the Murray and the Millard hotels and most of the fine residences in the city. He is now remodeling the plumbing in the Paxton hotel. He employs a large force of men who are on the go from morning till night. Mr. Spelman himself giving all work his personal supervision. He will cheerfully furnish estimates on plumb- ing, sanitary work or gas fitting at any time, orders for which can be left at the store or through telephone No. 946. Samuel Burus, the importer and dealer in crockery, gas fixtures, ete., at 1318 Farnam street, furnished the gas and electric fixtures for the building. They are of real bronze, made by the Archer & Pancoast Manufacturing com- pany of New York. The value of these fixtures is over $4,000. The elevators in the building were made by the Crane Elevator company of Chicago, and are fine specimens of the perfection which their passenger elovators have obtained. In this sys- tem are embodied every appliance for smooth and noiseless working aad all tbe safety measures which art has invented. Among other buildings equipped by this company in Omaha are Ramge building, United States National bank, Merchants’ National bank, the chamber of commerce, Shee- ley building, Murray hotel, ete., ete., and now have contracts for supplyng, among other buildings, the new Kirken- dall building and_ Smith building on Sixteenth street. We know of no other elevator company that can show a bet- ter record, and it is well known that in this building, as well as those above mentioned, only the best obtainable material and workmanship would be tolerated. Eicher & Kiplinger, the dealers in imported and domestic cigars, smokers’ articles, ete., occupy the east basement room, No. 1219 Farnam, under the Fivst National. They keep first-class goods and make a specialty of the box trade. Conspicuously prominent, notonly on account of the choice location in the round floor corner room, but also by its numerous and shining brass signs, is the city ticket office of the Burlington & Missouri railway. Of course nothing but the choicest room in the block woul dg for this great road, and their office is indeed a fine one. With entrances both on Farnam and on Thirteenth streets and immense windows, the room is as well lighted and ventilated as if there were no walls. White marble tile: cover the floor and elegant engravings of scenes along different roads coverthe walls, The furniture is of antique oak and was made from special designs for this office. Behind the counter isa ticket case which is a mode! of conveni- ence, In it are tickets to every station on every road in the country, as well as Pullman tickets over every road. A spucious vault affords security for the cash and valuables of the office. A cloak room and toilet rooms are in the rear. At the end of the counter is the private office of Mr. H. L. Hall, city ticket agent, who is the presiding ge- nius, and who is assisted by Messrs, E. A. Cooper and M. J. Dowling, The en- terprise of vhisroud in equipping such an elegant city office is in keeping with the record of the company, for whose lmlrons it decms nothing too good which t can obtain, Messrs, Schroeder & Dean opened a commission house i provisions and stocks at No. 805 South 15th, under the bank. The firm is com- posed of Fred C, Schroeder, the well nown grain and stock broker of Kan- sas City, and Mr. J. W, Dean, who gives the business here his personal at- tention. This house is a sound one and enjoys a hiizh reputation for integrity. The house has a direct wire to Ch cago and every change in the grain and stock market is posted on the %mlrds at this house. Thc?' fill ordevs of 1,000 bushels or more of grain and 10 shares, or more of stocks, On the first floor of the Firet National building. just buck of the banking room, with a separite entrance at 809 South Thirteenth strcet, is the Omaha office of the Lombar invastmnnt company, gm hlm' o8t l\lmncln}d institution in maha, having' a paid up capital and surplus of #1,500,000. This is ‘v.he most commaodious and elegant office room in the city, the light and \'enflhfllou being rtienlarly good, and the double vaults urge and conyenient; and altogether it is finely ndapted to the business of this extens fo‘oam ny.‘ Thu”l!lllrsol tgn company in t o are under the muaagement of Mr. yohn W. Gish, who rst Na- by the have grain, was untll recently superintendent of their western business at Kansas City, and who has been with the company since its organization. The business of the Lombard Investment company is the lending of money on real estate security, either farming land or improved city property. The applicationsare promptly passed upon at this office, abstracts are here examined free of charge to the borrower, and the money is promptly furnished as soon as the loans are closed up and the mortgage placed on record, thus avoiding all tedious delays and un- certainty, and giving this company fa- cilities for filling loans which cannot be equalled by any of its numerous compe- titors. The front offices on the bank floor is the office of J. W. Squire, investment banker and loan broker. Rooms 204, 205 and 206 are occupied by W. I. Allen, general agent for the Mutual Life Insurance comvany of New York.

Its cash ass er $11 Mr. Allen has represented the Mutual Life, as its general agent for Nebraska, Colorado, Dakota, Wyoming aund Utah for the st ten years, and through ]m enorgetic work the company is es- st, as itis eve t and best in- tablished in the w where else, as the lo surance company in the country. The general headquarters for the west, lo- cated in the First National bank build- ing, are the best appointed offices in the city and reflect much credit upon M. Allen’s good taste and at the same time add one more link to the many im- provements in which the Mutual Life has a hand. R. G. Dun & Co., proprietors of the mercantile agency. Thi 5 without doubt the oldest and larg ile agency in the world, having been estab- lished in New York City in 1841, and at the present time they have 128 regu- la established branch officesthrough- out the United States, Canada. Europe and Australin.
