| TEXT | Among the most prominent and notable establishments to be found on the West Side is that of Lewis H. Williams, who is the carpenter, builder and contractor, also an interior decorator as well as an office finisher in hard wood. This business was commenced in 1878, at No. 44 West 15th Street, where it was conducted two years and removed thence to present address. Mr. Williams was formerly in the employ of Mr. Keiley, and as the result of long experience is a thorough master of this business. His machinery is run by steam-power and he occupies an entire building which is four stories high and has a capacity of twenty-five feet front by one hundred and five feet in depth. Mr. Williams does all the work for the Trinity corporation and some four years ago extended the spire of Trinity Church on Broadway. He employs a great many skilled workmen and is doing a business which extends throughout the entire city and vicinity. The proprietor of this important establishment is a native of Wales in the kingdom of Great Britain, and is about thirty-two years of age, having been in the United States since 1866. He is a gentleman of culture and also of sterling integrity of character, who stinds irj high repute- wherever known. During the last year, 1884, he has erected the Williamsburg Fire Insurance Building, Trinity Stores, corner of Desbrosses, Vestry and Greenwich Streets, covering two hundred and fifty by two hundred feet, or fifty thousand square feet, and seven stories high. Also five free houses on 82nd and 83rd Streets, between Eighth and Ninth Avenues. One store on Fifth Avenue, near 14th Street, and five stores on Desbrosses Street. One flat building, corner of 124th Street and Madison Avenue, also an office building, corner of Church and Franklin Street, and alterations on the University Club Building, and several others. |
