Work is to begin at once on the new twelve-story concrete office building to be built at 921-923 Walnut street by the F. E. and S. M. Gloyd Lumber Company. It will be of reinforced concrete walls, girders and floors and will cost about $500,000.
The outside dimensions will be 48 x 110 1/2 feet. In addition to the twelve stories there will be a basement and a sub-basement. The outside construction of the building will be completed by September 1, and it will be ready for occupation probably by January 1.
