half the rooms makes them sunny and dry.  The building is four, five and six stories in height, and a flat roof, 50 x 70 on the highest portion, gives a fine view down the bay.  A “solarium” is erected on this roof, to contain a tropical garden or to be used for dancing.  The “parade” or garden, upon which all the southeast windows look, has been beautifully laid out, and there is not a dark room or a “back room” in the building.

A “rotunda” with glass roof at the rear of hall, first story, is intended as a lounging-room for ladies and gentlemen, and a veranda 35 feet in width in front opens upon Bull Street.  Many of the rooms open upon covered verandas on the second, third and fourth stories.  The dining-room is 50 x 120 feet, open to the air on three sides.  The materials are local brick for the lower portions, and buff Perth Amboy brick and terra-cotta above.  It contains about 300 rooms, and will cost, completed, about half a million.  It is, except the Ponce de Leon, the largest hotel in the South.  Special arrangements have been made for introducing large volumes of warmed or cooled air into the halls and corridors.  The contractors are Mr. T. Lewman & Co.  The Whittier Machine Co. did the elevator, heating and laundry work.  The Brush system of electric lighting has been introduced throughout.  L. Haberstroh & Son have decorated the walls and ceilings, making a special feature of the dining-room.  Ground was broken just a year ago, and the house was opened for guests on New Year’s day.
