. . Mr. Edgar was astonished, as every one is, at the magnitude and growth of the city. . . . On all hands I hear that more extensive preparations than for any previous year are now being made to build and improve over the whole city. . . . Hotels, depots, grain houses, store blocks, pri- vate dwellings, not to mention several churches and a theater, are to be erected in almost every division of the city. "In eight blocks bounded by the Chicago River, the Illinois Central Railroad, Clark Street... and Randolph Street, thirteen five-story brick warehouses are in course of construction; also nine five-story stone and brick warehouses and fifteen four-story common brick warehouses, one stone hotel six stories high and forty tene- ments. The Illinois Central is putting up a beautiful structure for office purposes. . . . These improvements are within that portion of the city nearest the station of the Illinois Cen- tral and are more extensive than those going up in other parts, but they are a fair measure of the progress of the town.
