SPACIOUSNESS WILL BE the distitiRuishinK feature of the new Ledger Builcilrir here shown in n reproduction from a perspective drawing of the architects' exterior plans. Ten stories in height, tho structure will occupy the entire block bounded by Sixth and Seventh,
Chestnut and Sansora streets. The architecture is n happy adaptation of the Colonial, quite in keeping with tho location beside Independence Hall. The building will be of red brick, with marble base and coping similar in stylo to the Curtis Building.
