New Crosby Block Pushing Forward

Event date: Jul 14, 1871

Work on Crosby’s new block, on Elliot street, is being pushed forward with energy, the roof being already on and the partitions up. The east room on the first floor is to be fitted up for a saloon; the middle room will be occupied by E. J. Carpenter for a news office, and the west room by W.F. Richardson, for a meat market. The second floor will be used for tenements.
