Design No. 292.— Improvements on suburban realestate are always interesting, as, with every innovation ofimportance, the surrounding territory is benefited to a muchmore appreciable extent than in the city. The above pic-ture shows an attractive structure now in process of erectionon the Eli Teeter property, at Nutley, a little distance northof the Avondale station. George Brune is putting up thebuilding, from plans made by William A. Lambert, of NewYork. Work on the cellar excavation began some daysago. The structure will be 42 X50 feet in dimensions, andwill be of wood. On the ground floor a commodiousbutcher shop is to be arranged for, and also a bakery, witha good-sized oven in the basement. There will also be abarber shop on the first floor, with two connecting billiardrooms behind it. The second and third floors will be cut.up into apartments, with private halls, ranges, hot and coldwater and other improvements. The building will be heat-ed by steam and lighted by electricity.
