| TEXT | With the vast increase of population and wealth in the metropolis, a demand arises for magnificent public buildings and private dwellings, which tend to beautify and embellish our land. In connection with these remarks, the attention of our readers is directed to the establishment of Messrs. J. B. McElfatrick & Sons, whose offices are located at No. 23 East 14th Street. The headquarters of these enterprising gentlemen are located at the Pope Theatre Buildings, between 9th and Olive Streets, St. Louis, Mo., where they have already acquired a national reputation for their great skill and ability as architects. They make a specialty of theatre work, and the following have been built according to their plans and designs, viz.: Peoples', Olympic, Standard, St. Louis, Mo.; Grand Opera House, Robinson's Opera House, Cincinnati, O.; Macauley's Theatre and Opera House, Buckingham, Masonic Temple, Louisville, Ky.; Boyd's Opera House, Lincoln Opera House, Lincoln, Neb.; Fort Worth Opera House, Dallas, Texas; O'Brien's, McDonald's, Montgomery, Ala.; Grand Opera House, St. Paul, Minn.; Cairo Opera House, Cairo, Ill.; Hot Springs Opera House, Hot Springs, Ark.; Bijou and Standard. New York, and numbers of others. The profession of an architect requires years of study, and in addition a practical education in active service and thorough mechanical training. Their plans for theatres are unsurpassed for architectural elegance, safety, and utility. Great care and attention are always paid by them to ingress and egress, which have been greatly neglected previously, but at the present day, in consequence of terrible calamities by fire, these methods of safety for the public are considered by this firm of the greatest possible importance. Messrs. McElfatrick & Sons justly pride themselves on their skill in theatre building, and make a point of attending personally to the minutest detail. The celebrated tragedian, Henry Irving, sent these gentlemen an autograph letter emphatically stating that the Olympic Theatre, St. Louis, which was built entirely under their supervision, was most perfect in every respect and unexcelled in point of sight by any other opera house or theatre in the world. The members of this enterprising firm are held in the highest estimation in social and professional circles for their inflexible integrity and honor, and are fully prepared with all the necessary facilities to execute or carry out any building undertaking not only promptly but with that intelligent apprehension of design which makes their efforts so highly appreciated. The linn will be found prompt, liberal and enterprising, never unsolicitous for the benefit of their patrons, and always prepared to offer advantages in keeping with such an eminent reputation. |
