EAST CENTER STREET BOOSTER SECTION VOL. XXVI—NO. 46 EAST CENTER ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL HALL CREDIT TO CITY Anaheim's new city hall, now being erected on East Center-st, reflects the modern and progressive spirit of the city as a whole. The principal portion of the front facing on East Center-st is of spotted brick of warm grey color, while large columns entirely of granitox terra cotta will give it a most stately appearance. Granitex terra cotta composes the front of the building. The granite will darken with age to about the same color as the granitex. The Center-st entrance will open on a vestibule 9 by 15 feet. At the right is the city manager's office, 16 by 16 and his private office, 11 by 11. In the life is a room 15 by 16 that will be used temporarily, as the office of the C. of C. This room can be taken over by the building inspector when he requires more space. For the time being he will have an office 13 by 28 to the east. A counter and public space 9 by 10 and fireproof vault 9 by 17 will be features of the room. The building inspector's office will open on the public lobby, which measuring 25 by 28 and with a skylight and lightwell will be one of the features of the building. LOCAL CONTRACTING FIRM'S GROWTH PHENOMENAL The growth of Wilson & Bever general contractors, has been phenomenal as that of Anaheim itself, with which it has been allied.

Wilson's first building in Anaheim was the Central building, adjoining the Golden State National Bank on East Center street. The building of Barney Hartfield, jeweler, was his second.

Wilson has been in Anaheim for eight years, during all of which he has been a builder.

Wilson's first building in Anaheim was the Central building, adjoining the Golden State National Bank on East Center street. The building of Barney Hartfield, jeweler, was his second. The latter is something of a landmark in that it was the first to set the building line on West Center street back from that established by the S. Q. R. Store.

At that time another story was added and the entire interior altered. On the second floor was a hall where the firm moving picture shows in the city were given. This building is remarkable in many ways. Its walls are 21 inches thick on the first floor and 17 above, and on the roof is a unique solar heating system, which provides all of the hot water needed during seven months of the year and nearly all of it the other five. By an interesting arrangement of glass the heat from the sun is stored as if in a fireless cooker in tanks, which keeps it warm for days. For emergency purposes there is an electric heater which automatically starts operating when the temperature of the water falls below a certain temperature. During the four or five months when the sun cannot be entirely depended upon, this heater, operating on the average only an hour per day, supplements its energy. Wilson & Bever have seen the city transformed from an irregular assortment of plain adobe, brick and frame structures some of them on the principal streets, to a modern city whose visible progress is everywhere evident.

Eugene Durfee, local architect, would be worthy of a city several times the size of this. Durfee opened his new suite in the New Kraemer building about May 1, before it was anything like finished, and since then had added repeatedly to his force until it is now about double what it was less than a year ago. Besides Durfee there are four draughtsmen, a stenographer and an outside supervising architect. These offices, while built for hard, practical work, are a credit to Durfee's architectural skill. They are convenience itself, they are ornate and they present features often not seen even in the most modern offices. Here Durfee receives the same representatives of materials manufacturers as are accustomed to call on leading Los Angeles architects. There are five rooms, each finished in the wonderful South Sea island mahogany, a species of cedar and as ornamental a wood as could be desired. The rooms include a nice fitted up reception room 12 by 20 feet; Durfee's private office, 12 by 14; a waiting room for contractors and material men, 8 by 12; a drafting room, 15 KRAEMER BUILDING OPERATIONS BIG HELP With the erection of two substantial and ornate office and store buildings on East Center street and a third planned and soon to be projected, Sam Kraemer and his son, Arnold, are doing much to increase property values in the business section. Plans for the third structure have not been drawn, but it is practically certain to be erected on the site between the Masonic building and North Philadelphia street and in practically the same style as the other two buildings. Its dimensions, interior plan and time of erection remain unannounced. It may contain a theater or be exclusively a hotel. No confirmation of the latter reports, however, can be obtained. The Arnold Kraemer building, at Emily and East Center streets, now is being completed, and already to a large extent has been rented. The building will be finished within a month, M. Eugene Durfee, architect, said today. It contains eight offices upstairs, reached by a fine marble stairway from Emily street nearly all of these (Continued on Page Six) GRAND OPENING UNITED THEATRE (Formerly The Grand) SATURDAY, OCT. 7 Presenting for Three Days SUN., and MON., Every Evening 7 and 9 P.M.
