Nov. 17, 1912
Selim M. Franklin has completed arrangements for the erection of a brick building on his lot on East Congress Street between Sixth and Fifth avenues, and adjoining the Pioneer Fish Market. The building will be of pressed brick, having a frontage of sixty-six feet and will be divided into three stores, each store to have a basement. The work of construction is under charge of Mr. D. S. Cochran.
The building will be completed by the first of January. One of the stores will be occupied by a quick order and restaurant business, which will be opened by Mr. Bloom of Chicago.
