CLOSE TO THE HYPERION: A Brick Block and a Brick Barn to be Erected by Dr. Winchell and Mr. Hughes

"Dr. A. E. Winchell and George D. Hughes, proprietors of the Hyperion, are about to erect two new brick buildings close to the theater. One will be a business block, three stories high and 36 by 50 feet in dimensions, to contain a large basement office, two stores on the first floor, two offices in the second story and an office for a photographer on the top floor. The location of the block will be directly in front of the Hyperion, on the vacant plot where a fountain has heretofore stood, leaving the wide concrete walk for a passage-way to the Hyperion between this new structure and the Republican league building."
