McCarthy’s Block, consisting of two large stores, offices, and dwelling house, corner of Dearborn street, 37 by 80 feet, and five stories high besides a basement. The front is of white eut stone, of chaste design. There are two large stores on the ground fioor. The upper stories are divided into offices and lodging rooms for single gentlemen. There is water on every floor, and in almost every room in the house; gas throughout and many other modern conveniences. In fine, every inch of available space in the building has been used to good advantage, and we do not know of a house in the city that is better arranged for its purpose. Olmsted & Nicholson, architects, in the house.
